Re: CA Sessions Ending

1. What happens when this limit is reached, it seems to me that they just
wouldn't get a signon.
When QPADEV* devices that are not available exceeds QAUTOVRT, no signon
panel
is sent and the connection is ended.  QAUTOVRT sets the number of
QPADEV* devices that can be created.  When the QPADEV* device already
exists
and is available, it can be selected to be re-used for another
session.  Example: When there are 1000 QPADEV* devices that exist(QAUTOVRT
is 200),
Telnet will use an available QPADEV* device.  If all 1000 QPADEV* devices
are in
use, damaged, not ready, etc., no new devices will be created.

2. Do QPDEV* just get created each time, I think they just get reused.
Could it be something else? Subsystem QIWS is set for *NOMAX, maybe a limit
for
the controller?
QPADEV* devices get created when none are available and the number of
QPADEV* devices is less than or
equal to QAUTOVRT.   The QPADEV* devices are re-used, as long as, they are
available.

An available device is a device that does exist and is in some varied on,
off, pending state.

Subject: CA Sessions Ending

Hi all,
I sure we have discussed this before but, something started yesterday that
maybe
some one can shed some light on. In the after noon all of a sudden CA400
sessions just started ending, the users are limited to one device so when
they
try to sign on again it tells them that that they can't sign on to more
than one
device. We end it and they can get back on. First thing I thought of was
QAUTOVRT, it was set at 200, and we have way over that so we raised it to
250 as
a test, something happened this morning so I got rid of some of the ones
that
were not being used. Now my questions:
1. What happens when this limit is reached, it seems to me that they just
wouldn't get a signon.
2. Do QPDEV* just get created each time, I think they just get reused.
Could it be something else? Subsystem QIWS is set for *NOMAX, maybe a limit
for
the controller?
Thanx-Eric
