OA30751: BR NETLOG ON A REMOTE SYSTEM. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SCROLL UP OR DOWN, GET BNH079I AND DWO570I MESSAGES.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Have defined a IP and SNA connection to a remote domain using
  RMTALIAS and RMTSYN in CNMSTYLE.
  Browsing a Netlog on a remote domain using command:
    BR DOMAIN=XXXXX NETLOG
  If PF7 or PF8 is used to scroll up or down when browsing the
  remote log, the browse will terminate with the following msgs:
  BNH079I REMOTE BROWSE WITH *.XXXXX TERMINATED.
  DWO570I UNABLE TO ESTABLISH REMOTE SESSION ON USIBMNT.NTVCD WITH
          SENSE: X'08A8000A'
  

Local fix

• A workaround for this problem would be to specify a RMTSYN
  statement with the real domain and netid values to contain the
  hostname and port for RMTCMD to find.

  ****************************************************************
  With the introduction of the support for RMTALIAS, remote browse
  had to change to use the resolved domain and netid each time it
  wanted to validate the connection to the remote NetView. In
  order to do this, the domain and netid specified on the BROWSE
  command were substituted with (internally) the domain and netid
  that RMTCMD processing resolved to using any RMTALIAS and RMTSYN
  statements. However, these resolved names were then used on any
  subsequent RMTCMD requests (to handle scrolling, etc). If there
  is no RMTSYN or RMTALIAS definition for the resolved domain and
  netid, NetView will attempt to connect to the remote NetView
  using a SNA connection. If this connection is not allowed,
  BNH079I and DWO570I are issued, and the remote browse
  terminates.
  

Problem conclusion

• The RMTDATA mapping in the CNMDVIB definition is being changed
  to contain 2 new fields, which will contain the domain and netid
  values specified on the BROWSE command. Module CNMCAVIB is being
  changed to copy the domain and netid values to these new fields
  when it allocates and initializes the RMTDATA storage. Module
  CNMCASVB is being changed to use the new fields on the RMTCMD
  requests for remote browse as well as any debug messages that
  are issued containing the domain and netid to report RMTCMD
  completion.
