  • a non-transitory tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising;

    obtaining a Transport Command Control Block (TCCB) from a location in memory specified by a Transport Command Control Block address of a Transport Control Word;

    opening a first exchange and sending, by a channel subsystem, the TCCB in the first exchange to a control unit, the TCCB comprising a first logical path value and a first device value;

    receiving, by the channel subsystem, an unsolicited first message in a second exchange from the control unit, the unsolicited first message comprising a second logical path value and a second device value, the unsolicited first message opening the second exchange, the second exchange being a different exchange than the first exchange;

    responsive to the receiving the unsolicited first message and the first exchange and second exchange being opened, determining that the first logical path value is equal to the second logical path value and the first device value is equal to the second device value;

    based on the determination, sending, by the channel subsystem, a second message to the control unit in a third exchange, the second message comprising a status of the first message, the second message configured to open and close the third exchange; and

    initiating, by the channel subsystem, a timer defining a time period for receiving a response to the second message from the control unit.
