RE: Runaway FTP task

Thanks, Scott, for that advice. I did do the ENDTCPSVR *FTP, but it's hard
to tell if it helped because the task didn't end for at least another hour,
and I also issued the ENDJOBABN during that same time.

I didn't kill the TCP connection because that would disconnect me as well (I
connect via VPN) and I was afraid that I'd never get back in.

Now that the task ended, I will try to do that RCLSTG as you suggested.

Thanks again.

Tom

Before doing ENDJOBABN, I think I'd try killing the TCP connection in
NETSTAT (if you haven't tried already) and I'd also try ENDTCPSVR *FTP.

If that doesn't work, then I'd resort to ENDJOBABN. But if you use
ENDJOBABN, you really need to make sure that you do a RCLSTG at some time in
the near future, since it can leave stuff in an inconsistent state.

I need emergency help with this one.

I was ftp'ing a file from my PC to a save file on our iSeries. My
internet connection apparently had a hiccup or two and my VPN
connection was disconnected. My PC hung and had to be restarted. By
the time I got back on the iSeries, my system was in a critical
storage condition, and it keeps going up! There is an ftp task running in

QSYSWRK that I can not cancel.

I've tried using option 4 with *IMMED and it takes it, but nothing

happens.

The job has END status, but my total system ASP used keeps going up,
currently 99.8116!

I've deleted QHST logs, all the other files I know I can delete and am
now deleting my largest library because I know I have a backup for it,
but nothing seems to help.

What can I do, and what can I expect?
