Re: Message reported from file system: Read timed out

I know I had problems with WDSC timing out due to our firewall. Being the network administrator, I was able to fix it by extending the session disconnect timer for TCP ports 446, 449, and 8471-8476. I'm remote from my IBM i even when in the office, so it was a major hassle. I don't know if that will help you at all, but perhaps something along the way already has increased timeout values for other ports, causing them not to disconnect on you. Email doesn't require a constant connection, so it's not really much of a comparison. TN5250 is a great example, though, if left idle.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Message reported from file system: Read timed out

Hello all,

I've recently started a new job at Profound Logic software, and am working from home. It's going well, but I'm having a lot of problems with Rational Developer for Power Systems (RPG/Cobol).

I'm running what I believe to be the latest version: 8.5.
My PC is running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit

The problem is if I leave RDP idle for awhile, and then come back to it, when I try to update a member, or get a member list, or anything else that requires accessing the server, I get this error from RSE:

RSEF1002: Operation failed: File system input or output error.

If I click the "details" button, it says "Message reported from file
system: Read timed out".

If I disconnect from the server, then reconnect all is well again...
until I leave it idle again. The amount of idleness required to
trigger the problem seems to vary. Sometimes 30 minutes seems to be
enough to make it go haywire, but not always. Once I left it
overnight, and I didn't have a problem.

I'm running this over a VPN, but I don't think the VPN is the problem, since I can leave other connections open, such as TN5250, E-mail, and misc other things, and none of them have timeout problems over this same VPN connection. Only RSE/RDP has a problem.

Has anyone encountered this before? Are there settings I can tweak?
Or, something else I can do to troubleshoot it further?

Thanks!
