Considerations for the INLCNN parameter that can affect error recovery
During error recovery, the actions you take to recover the controller depend
on whether the controller description was created with *DIAL or *ANS specified
for the initial connection (INLCNN) parameter. You may need to change this
parameter for error recovery. The INLCNN parameter is on the CHGCTLxxx command
or the CRTCTLxxx commands.
To configure the INLCNN parameter, consider the following:
- Use the INLCNN parameter that is set to *DIAL for iSeries-to-iSeries connections
when either system may initiate a connection with the other.
Note:
Whether the system actually attempts to DIAL depends on the setting of the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking® (APPN), DIALIMMED, MINSWTSTS,
and CTLOWN parameters along with the INLCNN parameter.
- Use the INLCNN parameter set to *ANS for iSeries-to-PC connections to
avoid unnecessary recovery attempts when the personal computer shuts down.
Note:
If the remote system never answers the dial attempt, consider changing
the configuration to *ANS to avoid dial failures.
