If it works for you, tip of the cap to Kurt Anderson. If I'm sending bad
information, sorry for cluttering the mail list.

You mentioned dropping every twenty minutes. One thing you could check is

the

TCPKEEPALV value when prompting on the CHGTCPA command. When our default

was

120 the RDi connection would get dropped every so often. I now have it

set to

5 and I haven't experienced a connection drop with RDi ever since.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDI - File system error: Read timed out.

I am using RDI 9.0.1 and recently (within the last week), I have been

getting

time out errors on my connection to the IBM i.

“Operation failed. File system input or output error.

Message reported from file system: Read Timed out”

The timeouts occur when I have left the RDI application alone for (I am
guessing), about an hour or so.

What typically occurs is that I will return to RDI and start working on

open source member and then attempt to save my changes.

But it will also occur when I attempt to open a member using

CTRL-SHIFT-A.

I have a call into the lan / support people here to see if they can help,

but

in the mean-time I thought I would check with the list.

I can recover by disconnecting and reconnecting or by closing RDI

altogether

and reopening it.

I have also tried the ‘–clean’ command line option.

Thanks for your indulgence.

Paul
