BBON0156E received in System Management User Interface(SMEUI)
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
If the System Management User Interface is unable to resolve the hostname, or connect to the SM server on the specified port number, error message BBON0156E is issued.
 
 
Solution
To debug this problem:

On the workstation:

Look for BBON0156E error messages in the System Management User Interface log (File > Message Log),

On the host:
  1. Check the Systems Management (SM) server Server Region (SR) JOBLOG for error messages.

  2. Check that the Daemon and SM servers are up.

  3. Issue the NETSTAT TSO command to verify the SM SR is listening to the same port that the System Management User Interface is trying to connect on.

  4. If necessary, enable Communications tracing in the SMUI on the workstation.

Related Information

Additional Information

You can enable Communications Tracing on your workstation and collect the communication trace data into 2 files; for example, trace.1st and trace.2nd:

  1. Open a DOS Command Prompt window and switch to your installation directory; for example: c:\Program File\IBM\WebSphere for zOS

  2. Switch to the bin directory:
    cd bin

  3. Use this command to invoke the application:
    bbonrun>trace.1st>trace.2nd

  4. Select the options choice on the login panel.

  5. Ensure that the Communication trace option is selected.

  6. Click the set option.
