RE: BPCS Lockup W95 desktop -- BPCS-L

Take a look at all the INI files.  Check that record sizes are all less
than 100.  It could be that you are not hanging but reading all records
into memory.  Also, I do know that we hang only if we have a 16bit
application open or was opened.  We use ccmail and if the user has gone
into mail, closed it and then goes into CEA they will hang after a few
transactions.
We also are using TCP/IP and in the workstation settings make sure that
the timeout is set to 90.

                Garry:

                We are using all IBM pc's that are at least 166's with
32 meg and some more CPU and more memory. The users are not on the net
and not dial up to an ISP. We have tried to through resources at the
problem and it does not seem to reduce the number of lock ups. Having
only two BPCS apps open seems to be the only factor. The typical user
has Outlook, one or two CA400 sessions open, and BPCS.

                Dave, could you give us specifics on the hardware you
are using?  We are also
                implementing 6.02 C/S and have experienced occasional
lockups, but it has
                generally been due to a specific hardware (PC) situation
or, less frequently, a
                specific BPCS program being run.  We've also run into
rare cases where TCP/IP
                using applications tangle up with each other and lock up
the PC.  As you know,
                BPCS, Lotus Notes, web browsers all are TCP/IP users and
if you are connected
                to a LAN and dialing up to a ISP at the same time, that
can cause a problem as
                well.

                Your comment about two applications open at least opens
the door to PC resource
                problems.  We try to use at least P166, 32Mb RAM for a
BPCS PC.

work around. Call or
