Netview Service Point configuration problem.

Question:

I am trying to configure Service point on my 360
@ 3.2.3 (I think).
I stopped Netview, Service Point and SNA.  Then
verified that portmaster was running.  I started 
SNA and an attachment.
lssrc -ls sna shows
SNA active
NVIXTA01 attachment active.
I restarted Service Point, and when I showed the
status of service point I got the error message:
evp_nvixFtsd inoperative
SSCP-PU not active
The mainframe Netview shows the SSCP-PU active.

What is the problem?

Response:

The 'nmvt_action_when_no_nmvt_process' value in the 'sna' profile must
be set to 'queue' not 'reject' for NetView Service Point to operate.

This cannot be done in smit.  You must export the SNA profiles, make
the change with an editor, then import the profiles.  This is done as
follows:

  exportsna -f /tmp/profile
  edit the file to change the following stanza
    sna_SNA:
    type = SNA
    profile_name = sna
    total_active_open_connections = 50
    total_sessions = 50
    total_conversations = 50
    server_synonym_name = sna
    nmvt_action_when_no_nmvt_process = reject
    restart_action = once
    stdin = /dev/console
    stdout = /dev/console
    stderr = /dev/console
    sna_error_log = no
  to:
    sna_SNA:
    type = SNA
    profile_name = sna
    total_active_open_connections = 50
    total_sessions = 50
    total_conversations = 50
    server_synonym_name = sna
    nmvt_action_when_no_nmvt_process = queue   **** THIS IS THE CHANGE ****
    restart_action = once
    stdin = /dev/console
    stdout = /dev/console
    stderr = /dev/console
    sna_error_log = no

  Stop NetView Service Point
    /usr/lpp/nvix/scripts/nvix_control stop
  Stop SNA Services
    stopsrc -s sna
  Start SNA Services
    startsrc -s sna
  Start the SNA Attachment
    startsrc -t attachment -o PROFILE_NAME
  Start NetView Service Point
    /usr/lpp/nvix/scripts/nvix_control start
  Check the status of Service Point
    /usr/lpp/nvix/scripts/nvix_control status
    This command should return a status of active for the SSCP-PU
session.

  Send a test alert
    /usr/lpp/nvix/bin/testa
    (Note:  This send a sample alert to the host netview session.)
