VTP 3.5 Starting device reply.


 

Hi!

I'm messing with VS1 6.7 and I tried to install VTP 3.5 to give that a try (I know there's 3.7...but 3.5 seems to have a much more straightforward installation and overall footprint).
I got some problems due to DD statements beyond column 12, and I had to change a STEPCAT DD that complained about missing FGEN73 to FGEN67... but so far, I think I had all jobs, executing all steps, with condition 0 or at least without freaking output.

I added a pair of 3270 displays at 0C8 and 0C9 , as indicated on the README, and re-IPLed the system, which now starts much more automated, and, well.... looks good!

However, I'm unable to put VTP to run:
Either something is wrong with the installation and/or the underlying system, or I'm failing to guess the right answer to VTP startup job:

I have to answer always with a 'CANCEL' reply to end this job.
Otherwise, no matter which CUUs I reply to it (I have tried 0C0 and 0C9) it keeps asking over and over endlessly.

Maybe someone could help interpreting what's going on here: whether the install is messed or what does VTP needs to be told.

Thanks.
Regards.

I don't think the issue is the 3270s, what does the DD4 DD card in the proc look like?


 

What say printout on virtual printer, which vol is not there where it needs
to be?

Maybe DLIBA1

Hi...

I think you gave a clue... the tp03 jcl DDs DD4 and DD5 are refering to volumes that I don't have (WORK61 and DLIBA1)... so I guess this is the cause of failure.
My system is using WORK73 and I thing DLIBA1 was the starter system volume... Interesting...

I think I have something amiss here

I have to try to attach DLIBA1 volume/DASD and/or WORK61

Cheers


 

Or comment out the bad DD cards....

OK folks... It worked!

I added DLIBA1 at 150 to satisfy DD5 (not sure whther it is actually needed, maybe commneting DD5 as suggested would have been enough)
I changed DD4 to point to WORK73, instead of WORK61.

VTP is now working.

It is very interesting... Thank you all for your help :-)

Cheers.
