Re: Using QSH to concatenate stream files on remote system

Thanks again Chuck.

It's the customer's setup over which I have little control, but if I have an opportunity, I'll see if they have a link to some server that doesn't have hyphens in the name and try cat with some files on it.

After some searching [hang\wait\perfm for QNTC], about all I could
come up with as a possible assist, was the following PTF, not on a
cumulative; i.e. after C0292540, that if not yet applied, might help
[apparent latest, in the PTF chain that I infer includes QZLCKERN]:
http://www-912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.nsf/ALLPTFS/SI47896

FWiW, I might be mis-remembering, but I have a vague recollection of
some issues involving server\share names with characters other than
simply alphabetic and numeric digits.?

Given joblog details represented as a symptom kwd string:
msgCPDB050 errno3447 rc3447 cpe3447 ETIMEDOUT
F/QZLCKERN FM/QZLCVUT FP/QzlcDiagMsg stmt/191

Thanks for the ideas Chuck. Let's see...

cd /g

cat asp_445.csv asp_445_canada.csv

hangs, and after canceling the session, the job log shows

determine the meaning of the error number, do one of the following:
If the error code is 4 digits, then - Use DSPMSGD CPExxxx, where
xxxx is the error number, to display an error message containing
more information about this error number. - Display one of the
following files that contain descriptions of error numbers:
QSYSINC/SYS, member ERRNO and QCLE/H member ERRNO. <<SNIP>>

I'd done the DSPMSGD CPE3447 ("A remote host did not respond within
the timeout period.") which I mentioned in the original post
(although I didn't say where I got it from).

I tried

cd /home/pdow [local folder]
cat thekey.txt thekey2.txt > /g/thekey.txt

and it immediately created /g/thekey.txt with the contents of the 2
files. So I guess writing to a /QNTC folder is not a problem.

I started "cat asp_445.csv asp_445_canada.csv" again and let it run,
and after about 5-10 minutes, it started spitting out the contents of
the 2 files.

So reading the files from /g just takes a lllooooonnnnng time?

I actually remember those environment variables, and how they make a
dramatic improvement when doing "WRKLNK '/QNTC'", but one of the old
workarounds for that issue, prior to the environment variables, was
creating a symbolic link pointing to the particular server you want
(if you know what it is), which is what the /g does for me.

So how about using cat to stdout instead of writing to /g [in
/QNTC]; i.e. drop the redirect. Does that function well, or result
in the same error? If that also fails the same, perhaps try cat a
couple local file with redirect to /g to implicate the write
instead of the read as origin for the encountered difficulty.

Not sure where the msg CPDB050 is logged [apparently the
interactive joblog invoking the QSHell facility vs one of the
/batch/ jobs that implements the work], but are the full message
details [F6=Print or spooled joblog] available... to clarity if
perhaps the errno 3447 ETIMEDOUT condition is specific to the
readdir or something else.?

I did not find any APARs with msgCPDB050 rc3447 nor various kwd
combinations with either errno3447 ETIMEDOUT

<<SNIP>>

Note: I recall one or two environment variables related to how
/QNTC server connections are cached\tracked. <<SNIP>>
