Resolution

In reference to message

#XCOMU0298E Unable to allocate remote transaction program: Txpi  238: getaddrinfo error return value = 1

The message indicates that XCOM could not resolve the IP name or address.   

Make sure that you have the correct value for REMOTE_SYSTEM=.

Now you need to keep in mind that XCOM also has a REMOTE_SYSTEM_RF=, REMOTE_SYSTEM_SJ= and REMOTE_SYSTEM_SR=.

Each of the parameters is for the different type of transfers and you must use them accordingly with those type of transfers.  

Look at the list of parameters at  on our online documentation for XCOM Data Transport for UNIX/Linux.

Make sure that you have specified REMOTE_SYSTEM_RF= in the xcom configfile when you perform a RECEIVE FILE transfer.
