Checking client and host configuration

If the SNA product on the Client daemon machine, and the host are both correctly configured, you should be able to activate the connection between them. Follow the steps below to activate the connection; you do not need to start the client first.
  1. Start the node on the SNA product on the Client daemon machine.
  2. Use the CEMT transaction to acquire the connection. Type CEMT I CON. The screen will look similar to this:
     I CON                                                                         
     STATUS:  RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY

      Con(SYSB) Net(IYCKZCCV)     Ins Rel Vta Appc                                 
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                         SYSID=SYSA APPLID=IYCKZCCU

  3. Overtype Rel with ACQ, to acquire the connection.

If you cannot acquire the connection, SNA is wrongly configured on the product or the host.
