APING Allocate Time
This protected field shows the time required (in milliseconds) for the MC_ALLoCATE to the
remote TP to complete.
APING Minimum Time
This protected field is the minimum time (in milliseconds) required for a data-sending iteration.
This includes the time required for the partner to respond, either by sending data or issuing a
confirm, depending on the setting of the echo parameter.
APING Average Time
This protected field is the average time (in milliseconds) required for a data-sending iteration.
This includes the time required for the partner to respond, either by sending data or issuing a
confirm, depending on the setting of the echo parameter.
APING Maximum Time
This protected field is the maximum time (in milliseconds) required for a data-sending iteration.
This includes the time required for the partner to respond, either by sending data or issuing a
confirm, depending on the setting of the echo parameter.
Abort Timeout
This value determines how long the LINCS node will wait for a response before determining
that a timeout occurred. If a timeout occurs, a message indicating that the APING failed will
be posted on the panel.
Display Problems and Exceptions
This panel displays APPN Problems and Exceptions which have been logged, with the most
recent event first.
This information is saved to a file whenever a problem is logged. The file is maintained across
IMLs with the same IL level. Please NOTE that these events are not logged while displaying
this panel.

For more information on a problem or exception (such as the cause, effect, and action), refer
to Problem Determination Messages (chapter 3) of the SNAP APPN Problem Determination
Guide. Use the message number to find the corresponding message description.
APPN Problem
A problem is an anomalous event that degrades the system in a way potentially perceptible to
a user. Problems are logged, for example, for resource shortages (when creates, buffer
reservations, or control block reservations fail), when session allocations fail, when a BIND
contains errors, when an ACTLU or DACTLU violates SNA protocol, and when session
limits are exceeded.
