The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Scroll through DSPLOG and Check System Messages to see if there is some new
error message showing up a lot.
It helps if you have done that from time to time so that you can recognize
what is not normal.
I have updated my log of interesting messages since last I shared it.
Are you able to sign onto the OS/400 outside of BPCS and run something that
does not eat CPU, so as to verify the problem is with BPCS and not with the
400?
Ops Navigator can get at stuff you cannot get at with regular command line,
such as which program is the source of error messages ... on command line
you can deal with the message, but a problem I have in testing
modifications is to make sure the correct version of a program is running.

Have you been running BPCS on this version and OS/400 version for some time
with no problem, or did you just do an upgrade (which one ... BPCS or
OS/400 or Client Server?) and have the problem happen? If you just did an
upgrade, did you get all the IBM APARs for BPCS, or all SSA BMRs for that
upgrade? Did you go cold turkey on the upgrade (normal for OS/400) or did
you do some pilot testing (normal for BPCS upgrade) and did it run fine?
Are the number of users and how they connect to the 400 the same as they
always been?
We have a lot of users connecting via VPN and a few via the Internet.
We have been having intermittent ma bell problems with VPN going down.
When people change forms on the main printer, they use the main console,
which as you may know has higher priority than all other connections. Ours
is twinax.
We are on 405 CD on V5R1.
