If the system resolves to a local IP address (basically, similar to your PC IP address except for the end, typically), it shouldn't matter where the DNS is, for this specific problem.

Ah, that might be part of (or all of) the problem. Our system is connected
via our ISP. That is, the DNS is on their system, not local. That means
that, even though the system is sitting about a foot (about .33 meters) from
me as I type this, I have to go through the ISP to make the connection using
the System i's IP address.
I've tried to get that rectified but our part-time sys admin (aka the boss'
son) is adamant that the System i is a "piece of junk" and is the root cause
of the problem. Indirectly he may have a point since we're at V5R1 and I
ain't a network or admin guru. That said, I still have to restrain myself
from slapping the s**t out of him whenever he's in the office (which
thankfully isn't often).

Debugging is at least twice as hard as writing the program in the first
place. So if your code is as clever as you can possibly make it, then by
definition you're not smart enough to debug it.

Are you on the same local switch as your system? I had problems with
disconnects due to our firewall closing connections. That shouldn't be a
factor if you're local, though.

Thanks, Mike. Ours is currently set at the default (120).

Jerry,
This seems like a problem I had a long time ago. I'm not absolutely
positive, but I think the solution was to lower the TCP keep alive value.
Ours is currently set to 5.
Hope this helps.
Mike

I just did the reconnect. The subsystem (QUSRWRK) was already set to 4 0
*Seclvl but, since it is running, there is no joblog. The job (QZRCSRVS)
was set to 4 0 *NoList so I changed that to *Seclvl. Maybe tomorrow morning
there will be a joblog with some useful information.

If you don't find an answer any other way, you could change the jobs in
QUSRWRK to generate a joblog. Then check the generated joblogs for any
indication as to why the jobs are ending.

Re: [WDSCI-L] WDSc Needs to Reconnect Daily
Won't have to wait that long, after all.
I decided to check (WRKACTJOB) to see if QUSRSYS subsystem was running.
It
wasn't, but QUSRWRK was (which is what I think you meant, David). But
there
were no jobs running in it.
So, I went to WDSc and that @#$% think needed to reconnect. After it
made
the connection, I checked QUSRWRK again, and it now has two jobs:
QZHQSSRV
and QZRCSRVS. Both are pre-start jobs. I'll do some research
Thursday, but, in the meantime, anyone has a guess why the jobs would
be ending, suggestions would be appreciated.
