910.0. "What is DCI channel?" by EDSCLU::PORCARO () Fri Mar 28 1997 10:24

    Craig,
    
    I have an IPMT from a customer with a PUT2 CT gateway.
    
    It has been crashing about once a week recently.
    The one crash I have has the CQ Interrupt routine 
    bugchecking with CDB busy.
    
    In order to proceed, I asked for IBM hardware/software in
    use at the site. And the CT gens.
    I didn't get what I wanted... I got this.
    
    IBM hardware: 9021/640
    IBM host is seen as a CU 3174.
    SW running:
    VTAM V3.4.1
    CT is connected via "bus and tag" channel cable on a DCI channel.
    
    Questions so I know how to proceed:
    
    What is a DCI channel??
    Is VTAM V3.4.1 supported by IBM??
    
    Thank you,
    Bill
