Re: Lengthy SNA Distribution Recovery step in IPL

Jack: They are at V5R4M0. Not completely current, on CUME (9321). I don't know what Step Code it was, I should have written it down

Pete: I ran the strmsf and it completed normally. No other messages issued. I am not sure why the IPL is longer but it sure hung up at the SNA Distribution Recovery step for quite a while (60 minutes, give or take). Normally, I could bounce this thing in 20 minutes and most of that time was spent shutting down the IXA and IXS.

Evan: I ran the two commands you suggested. Here is what the job log shows:

qrydst
Requested distribution complete, 0 distributions.

RCLDLO DLO(*ALL)
All document library objects are being reclaimed.
Activity related to documents and folders is now allowed.
All documents and folders are now available.
*ALL of type *N in folder path *N reclaimed.

All: I'll monitor this at the next IPL and take better notes. I get zero hits when I google for "SNA Distribution Recovery" (except for midrange) and without the quotes I don't do much better. Nothing in the job log during IPL looks abnormal.

Thanks. I'll keep you posted.

Pete,

I don't know why SNA& Mail relay would make the IPL longer, but
have you tried to do a STRMSF *CLEAR? Instead of the regular STRMSF.

It's a shot in the dark.

Subject: Lengthy SNA Distribution Recovery step in IPL

A few weeks back I dealt with an open relay issue on a 520 that I
eventually got sorted out. At least I *thought* I got it sorted out.
The biggest fallout was that there were a jillion spool files generated
in the process and it took a dltsplf and a rclsplstg to get back some
critical space. But I still have my suspicions that there are still
files lurking. What raised my suspicions was that last night when I
IPL'd the SNA Distribution Recovery step took over an hour. When I had
IPL'd the system after the rclsplstg a few weeks ago the SNA
Distribution Recovery step also took equally as long. Seems like SNA is
"recovering" but recovering what?

So the questions are: Why is the IPL taking so long at that step
(instead of minutes, like it used to)? Where should I look for
"leftovers" after the open relay? Could there be undelivered messages
queued up somewhere? WRKDSTQ shows nothing in any of the queues.

Thanks
