I also having intermittent problems of similar nature. I think ours are partly because* We do not have IBM equipment end to end between AS/400 and end users some of whom are on Client Access, Twinax, and VPN
* We have flaky phone connection service * The UPS protects the CPU but perhaps not the modem simulation gear* Different pieces of hardware have some kind of "time out" when connection lost * Different tasks take different lengths of time to do their thing, and some users THINK something has locked up when in fact it has not. * Very few users remember that when there is an error message on bottom of screen, cursor on it, the F1 can be very illuminating
We rarely vary off inactive user jobs because this can crash whatever they were updating. I wish we had this utility http://www.precosis.com.au/rv1.htm which permits us to transit to the abandoned session commands like F24 F12 F3 F6 F7 or whatever is needed to bring the task to closure without messing up the last whatever that the user was entering.
WRKSYSVAL has some settings you might want to check* QDEVRCYACN is *DSCMSG for us, meaning user has opportunity to try to recover the job * QDSCJOBITV is 90 minutes for us, meaning if the user not get back on in that time period, pull their plug
* QSTRPRTWTR is 1 for us (we restart print writers after any downage) * QSVRAUTITV ours is 2,880 minutes There may some others relevant to your OS/400 versionCheck WRKCFGSYS on all your devices ... are they configured to be varied back on after a power outage, or re-IPL for other reasons?
I'm having an intermittent problem with users 5250 sessions being ended while in query400 and the interactive job on the Iseries staying active. My users are either ending their 5250 sessions themselves or they are getting ended for some other reason, I'm not sure. However, after the session is ended on their PC and the job on the Iseries is staying active. This causes other jobs to fail because of records locks and other reasons. We have a routine that kills inactive device sessions, but it is not ending these jobs, I think it's because the end job command is doing a *CTLD end instead of an *IMMED end. Has anyone come across this problem in their shops? Joel B.
