Re: workstation message queue issues

Has the service provider already helped any or replied with anything that might clarify.? If not already reported, that might be a good approach. Regardless, I offer also...

Does "crapped out" have a symptom, perhaps a message that gets issued, a message that could be searched for a known defect? Does the device get allocated but the user can not signon, or perhaps no sign-on screen is presented and some other symptom transpires which might be described as a hang, wait, loop, or other? Is there a TELNET exit program that might be involved for device selection? I do not recall, but I think the auto-config work occurs in the interactive subsystem for the display device, so review that subsystem monitor job for any messages as well as the history log, problem log, and audit log.

FWiW there is a v6r1 PTF that was issued for a loop while processing a *MSGQ object for authority [for which many T-AF entries are logged]; i.e. while processing a request to revoke authority [RVKOBJAUT].
v6r1: R610 SI41165 1000
v7r1: R710 SI41166 1000

All of the DEVD are 3179 devices and the ones that crapped out this
morning were created in the last 10 days. It's sporadic which is the
real pain. It creates the MSGQ most of the time but ever so often I
get this problem.

how do the dates on the objects look when they are created, maybe
these are real old objects that don't like the new OS (or) maybe
the device types are different, example 3179 VS 3477 etc.

I can't for the life of me figure this out. We have auto-create
devices turned on, sometimes when a new virtual workstation
device is created the associated MSGQ is created, sometimes it
isn't. I haven't found anything that could be causing this. Has
anyone else seen this behavior? It happened on v6.1 & on v7.1 of
the OS... we aren't using iASPs so I can rule out anything
regarding that aspect.
