Re: Death of Client Access Sessions

Jeff,
For dropping sessions, check you inactivity time in CHGTELNA and WRKSYSVAL
QINACTITV.  It may be this is set too low.

You say it just starts refusing connections.  Check what QAUTOVRT is set
to.  This value should be high enough to support the number of display and
printer sessions.  When QAUTOVRT is 10 and there are 10 active sessions,
the next connection gets rejected.

Subject: Death of Client Access Sessions

Help!!!

I have been having a problem recently (three times in the last two months)
with the death of our client access telnet sessions.  We are on V4R3
OS/400
and V3R2M0 of client access..   I have checked the joblogs for the TCP/IP
telnet sessions and it just starts refusing connections and killing active
sessions.  It only affects the telnet sessions.  FTP and other IP related
activity is fine..  I have been unable to trace the problem from there.
The
only solution to fix it is to IPL the AS/400 and then the users can sign
back
on fine.

When it starts to happen, the users screens go blank and they get an error
message 658 followed by an error messages 657.  The 658 says that it cannot
resolve to host.   I have let it try to recover for about 45 minutes and it
still just sits there.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance,

Jeff
