Re: CPF8907 on STRPASTHR over AnyNet

Unfortunately I can't offer a solution, only a "me too".  We have AnyNet 
connections configured to many customer systems.  On most it works fine, 
you can STRPASTHR and leave a session connected for hours.  On a few 
customer systems the pass-thru session will end after around 5 minutes 
(whether it's been idle, or even if you are actively keying sometimes). 
We've found that a TELNET session over the same Internet connection will 
stay connected.  WIth a few customers the Telnet sessions were ending, but 
changing either the TCPKEEPALV (on CHGTCPA) or the TIMMRKTIMO (on 
CHGTELNA) would solve the problem.  It seems that AnyNet STRPASTHR 
sessions must use some sort of timeout value from somehwere, but I've 
never had any luck in finding where they get the values from, or how to 
change them.  If you ever do find a solution, please post it to the list.

CPF8907 on STRPASTHR over AnyNet










I have a working VPN connection over the internet between two AS/400's 
(one
on OS/400 V4R5M0 and one on V5R2M0). I can sent messages and files between
those AS/400's, I even can STRPASTHR from the one to the other, but after 
5
to 6 minutes I got a CPF8907 (Communication failure) on the source system.
Telnet is, when started, not interrupted, so it's not the real or VPN
connection.


Does anyone has a solution?
