AS/400 APPC Controller Goes to RCYPND When Connection Is Stopped (263211)

SYMPTOMS

If SNA Server has an active LU6.2 (APPC) session to an IBM AS/400 system over a switched line (for example Token Ring or Ethernet), and the connection or SNA Server service is stopped, the APPC controller on the AS/400 may change to an RCYPND (Recovery Pending) state. When you restart SNA Server or the connection, the connection remains in a Pending state until the AS/400 APPC controller is manually varied off and on again by an AS/400 administrator.
