One issue we (SSA) have seen recently especially for clients that
don't IPL very often is that there isn't a long enough delay between the
STRTCP command being issued and the STRNWID command.

Most clients start TCP & the deamons in the QSTRUPPGM and we've
found that in some of the later PTF's and V4's of OS/400 IBM are
cramming more work into the start of TCPIP.

The less often clients IPL, the more likely they are to hit this issue,
as they probably have a too small DLYJOB after the STRTCP command, set
months or years back when this delay was enough at the time.

>From memory, I think we (SSA) have updated the install directions to
specify a reasonably long enough DLYJOB in the QSTRUPPGM. We used to
recommend one minute, but since this issue has arose, we've (SSA) begun
to recommend five mins. Athough putting the delay in to the QSTRUPPGM
is not a 'real' solution, until IBM implement a fully functional set of TCP
services, we (SSA) are stuck with this work around.

I'm working with IBM to get them to flag some where in the system that
the STRTCP has finished processing (although the command says 'TCP
started' in a message to the joblog, this message doesn't tell you that
processing has actually *finished*) so that the daemons can be started
at any time after the IPL but will be coded to wait until the flag is
set. The status of this is IBM are "looking at the request". As soon as
we have OS support in place from IBM, a BMR will be available on
OGS-Online.

Hope this helps,
