In addition to the errors described here, there may be error situations where one of<br />

the system components terminates abnormally, for example the queue handler, the<br />

OSI server itself, or OSI/File Services. In these cases some mechanisms to<br />

recover information about the request are invoked automatically (see “Automatic<br />

Restart of an OSI File Transfer” on page 191).<br />

Automatic Restart of an SNA File Transfer<br />

<strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong> <strong>V2.2.1</strong> <strong>MVS</strong> can use automatic transfer restart to recover from errors.<br />

How Automatic Restart of a File Transfer Works<br />

The following items show how <strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong> <strong>V2.2.1</strong> <strong>MVS</strong>’s automatic transfer<br />

restart facility works:<br />

� This facility enables <strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong> <strong>V2.2.1</strong> <strong>MVS</strong> to recover from the following<br />

errors:<br />

– There is a session interruption. This can happen when there is a severe<br />

ACF/VTAM problem, or if the secondary system of the file transfer terminates<br />

abnormally.<br />

– The operator terminates one or both of the two servers involved in the<br />

transfer.<br />

– The operator terminates the queue handler and thereby implicitly terminates<br />

all servers running on that system.<br />

– <strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong> <strong>V2.2.1</strong> <strong>MVS</strong> temporarily cannot allocate the sending or<br />

receiving data set. <strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong> <strong>V2.2.1</strong> <strong>MVS</strong> analyzes the feedback information<br />

from its dynamic allocation process. Depending on the feedback<br />

information it classifies the error as being permanent or temporary.<br />

If any of the following dsname allocation error codes are returned, the error<br />

is classified as being temporary:<br />

020C Request for exclusive use of a shared data set cannot be done.<br />

0210 Requested data set unavailable.<br />

0214 Unit not available.<br />

0220 Requested volume not available.<br />

0224 Eligible device types do not contain enough units.<br />

0228 Specified volume or unit in use by system.<br />

0260 Unit does not meet specified status requirements.<br />

0264 Invalid request due to current unit status.<br />

0268 Tape device is broken.<br />

Otherwise the error is classified as being permanent.<br />

See <strong>MVS</strong>/XA System Macros and Facilities for a detailed description of the<br />

temporary allocation error codes.<br />

– The pre-transfer user-exit routines on the sending or the receiving system<br />

have temporarily rejected the file-transfer request.<br />

– The main task of one of the two servers involved in the transfer abends.<br />
