I have seen those types of 'trickle' comm messages during restricted state
for many years on many versions. They always make me wonder how they get
through... with that said, if I NEED a save 21 to finish at a certain time
in order to proceed on to the next activity, I pretty much monitor it
pretty closely. It's common enough to get one of these, but there are
plenty of other things that can blow up during a backup that sooner than
later it will happen on the one that's not being watched!

I had a very weird (to me) message pop up during my GO Save (Option 21)
last night.
The message was "APPN Not Replying... "(MSGID CPA58E0) and then it had a
controller description
name which we use to connect to a mainframe.
This was during a system save so the system was in a restricted state (the
SYSTEM IN RESTRICTED
state message (forget the exact text on that but it's the restricted
message you'd normally see
when you do a ENDSBS(*ALL)) and to my knowledge, nothing else was running.
The backup did not complete. In fact, the back never even started because
between the time we hit
the enter key after filling in the parms on the Go Save option 21 screen
and the time that message
popped up was almost an hour and a half so we'd already left by that time
as we thought it the
bakckup was running.
Did not discover this message waiting then until we came back in this
morning.
My question then (finally) is...what would cause an APPN controller to do
anything when the system
is in a restricted state like this and what can I do to prevent it tonight
when I attempt the full
system save again?
