Problem: Unable to connect to eft213 muxserver from a remote client. If the z/OS RESOLVER address space is being used, then an EFT or USER-Access client on any host may not be able to connect to the z/OS EFT server, and a z/OS EFT client may not be able to connect to any EFT or USER-Access server.

Solution: The TCP DNS lookup routine does not yet support the RESOLVER address space search order.  We are working to determine a resolution timeframe for this, but in the meantime, we have tested and verified 2 workarounds that could be used -  

1)  Make a copy of your GLOBALTCPIPDATA configuration file, and call it 'TCPIP.TPCIP.DATA'.  This name is an underlying default name that is supported by the old search order, so EFT will find it.   -or-
 
2)  Add //SYSTCPD allocations to your EFT server and client procedures or startup commands, to point to the file specified by your GLOBALTCPIPDATA statement in your RESOLVER setup file.  A SYSTCPD allocation is also a technique that is supported by the old search order, so EFT will find it.
