Execute cicsping successfully and without errors before you configure TRS. An example of successful cicsping output is as follows:
Testing host bugguy, port 3011 gethostbyname ok connect to CICS listener ok transaction started by listener ok test message sent ok Reply from host transaction: CICSTEST : *** MODULE SYGWTCPS LOADED SUCCESSFULLY *** VERSION STRING = 02/24/9411.45 SYGWCICx/3.0/370/CICS/1 ECHO DATA = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz test completed in 1081ms
If cicsping stops prematurely or fails to operate correctly, check for one or more of the following conditions:
A mainframe configuration error. For example,
“CICS TRANID - SYPG IS INVALID”
This message means that the SYPG transaction is not installed in the CICS region.
A TCP/IP network configuration error.
A network outage problem.
You can determine where the configuration error or network outage occurred based on the type of error message cicsping returns or by the point at which it stops prematurely.
If the error occurred at the mainframe, the system programmer or operator must make the necessary changes in the network configuration.
If the error occurred at the server, the operating system administrator must make the necessary changes to the network.
