Re: Intermittent EE failure initiated by SAVRSTOBJ - V6R1

thank you. Now I remember some of the reasons I abandoned SNA.

I used to have documented steps I would take when STRPASTHR would work one
way but not the other.
sorry, but I've forgotten them.

Here are some good troubleshooting steps, starting with STRPASTHR
failures:

Since migrating from ANYNET to EE
SAVRSTOBJ from LPAR A to LPAR B results in failure, intermittently
Strpasthr from A to B also fails.
Strpasthr from B to A works.

On B, Object Connect retries for 2 hours, before reporting the error.
ObjectConnect internal error, function code F5, return code BF.

On A, error occurs, 30 minutes earlier.

It appears the "timers" are different on A and B,
LPAR A tries for 90 minutes.
LPAR B tries for 120 minutes.

Sometimes, the issue resolves itself, no interaction done.
Other times, varying off/on EE controller on A that points to B "appears"
to resolve the issue.

Open PMR with IBM, nothing yet.

Could it be a configuration issue.

Anyone experience similar issue?


Thank You
