I'm in the process of downloading software to install on my z/OS system. I've not used SMP/E Receive to download previously.
The DOWNLOAD step ends with a return code 12:

The message that is issued is:
GIM69207S ** GIMGTPKG PROCESSING HAS FAILED BECAUSE THE CONNECTION WITH THE
SERVER FAILED. java.net.UnknownHostException:
some.ibm.server.ibm.com
GIM20501I GIMGTPKG PROCESSING IS COMPLETE. THE HIGHEST RETURN CODE WAS 12.
From TSO I can ping the hostname and it resolves correctly.
CS V2R3: Pinging host SOME.IBM.SERVER.IBM.COM (9.1.2.3)
Ping #1 response took 0.034 seconds.
I suspect this is a CommServer configuration issue but I've not been able to find a solution via Google.
Hopefully someone can de-mystify CommServer configuration.
