Issue/Introduction

How to resolve XCOMM0780E Txpi 206: Socket error return value = 1114 when starting XCOM for z/OS

Environment

XCOM™ Data Transport® for z/OS

Cause

This error is received when starting the XCOM task because they are allowing XCOM to listen to IPV6 when the TCPIP task in not configured for it.

Resolution

If message XCOMM0780E Txpi 206: Socket error return value = 1114 is received when the XCOM task is started, check the values for the following XCOMDFLT parameters:

TCPIPV6={ALLOW|NONE},
SERVPORTV6=8046,
SSLPORTV6=8047,
SERVADDRV6=,

Note: TCPIPV6 can be set to either ALLOW or NONE.

The above parameters are to allow XCOM to listen to IPV6 as long as your TCPIP stack is configured to support IPV6. If your TCPIP stack is not properly configured to support IPV6 then you will need to modify the values of the mentioned parameters in the XCOMDFLT to:

TCPIPV6=NONE,
SERVPORTV6=,
SSLPORTV6=,
SERVADDRV6=,

The above setting will stop XCOM from trying to listen to IPV6 and prevent message XCOMM0780E Txpi 206: Socket error return value = 1114 from being received in your XCOM task.
