RE: MSF Chokes under load

Want a nether good one.  I will send a source member from one as400 to two
other as400s.  I send from qpgmr systema to ((qpgmr systemb) (qpgmr
systemc)).  Now some times I get the response that they were received and
sometimes not.  The target systems received the file from qpgmr system~a or
some other weird character.  SNADS records a distribution error that the
message cannot be sent to qpgmr system~a.  Gee I wonder why. <BG>  Some
times no problem some times problem.  The file is always received ok.
Generally both target systems get the error or both go ok.  I never had one
get it write and the other error.  We have all the lasted cums installed.
Still happens after an IPL.  One system is attached via LAN and the other
using a V.35 and leased line.  System activity does not seem to matter.
This has been going on for a couple of years.  I reported it once, but as I
mentioned, the files arrive in tack so I just don't care.  Tomorrow we move
from V3R7 to V4R3 and two weeks later, 510-2143 to 720-????.  Maybe it will
go away.  Any one else seen this type of behavior?

Try the following:
CHGSYSDIRA ALWSCH(*NO)
CHGSYSDIRA ALWSCH(*YES)
This will rebuild some directory entry attributes.

To see if this is your problem, before trying this do:
WRKDIRE
F10-Search
Fill in User profile (not user id)
Press Enter and see if you get any hits, or an error message instead.

I had this happen under V4R2.  PMR 10060,500 dated 11/24/98.  And in 
my MSF job 161719/QMSF/QMSF joblog I saw the following:
CPI9A9C Message . . . . :   Search data does not exist

It started happening so often, and on multiple 400's, that I started 
adding the two CHGSYSDIRA commands to my downtime instructions, completed 
every 8 weeks.
