RE: Anynet

[careyj@xxxxxxxxxx]

At a former company, we had a similar problem - the cause turned out to be
NAT, which doesn't (or at least didn't last year) work well with ANYNET.
It seems the Client Access keep alive timer (which apparently could not be
disabled) was causing sessions to drop - it would try to talk to the host,
but since NAT was changing addresses, it would time out.  IBM's only
solution was to turn off NAT (which we had told the client anyway).

Thank You, Thank You,

This is exactly what I was looking for.  I am going to change some values
and try again.  We already had the PTF installed so it is just a matter of
setting the values to something that works.  Will post what I end up with.

This might help: apply PTF SF52790 (V4R3M0). It allows you to change the
time it
takes for the AS/400 to detect idle or aborted AnyNet sessions: the
keepalive
timer, number of keepalive retries and the keepalive retry timer.
