Re: Timeout Errors

Hi Mike,

Good point, however I do hit Ctrl-S to save pretty frequently and tend to
work and compile in small chunks as experience has taught me it's much
easier to do that than to make wholesale changes and then potentially be
faced with several different errors on the next compile.

I'm not working in iProjects at this point so the saves should be fairly
frequently writing to the iSeries SRCPF.

Keep in mind that your coding is largely on the client and unless there is
interaction with the IBM i (opening or closing members or whatever) then
the connection sits idling. The symptoms you describe would indicate that
some network appliance has "forgotten" your connection resulting in it
quietly ignoring the read which in turn leads to the read time-out.

Thanks for the information and link Mike.

I don't think it's an "idling" issue as it happens when I'm in the middle
of coding, however I have asked my client to change the TCPKEEPALV setting
anyway to see if it makes any difference.

As it just happened again I can report that the error dialog is:

"RSEF1002 Operation Failed. File system input or output error"

Details:
"Message reported from file system. Read timed out."

I appreciate that this doesn't shed any more light on the issue, just
mentioning it for completeness.

I'll report back if the TCP setting has any impact.

thanks and regards,
Craig

Otherwise it is likely a VPN or network stability issue.

Hi All,

For the last 6 months or so I have been using RDi and ACS over a VPN.

I consistently get errors with RDi which seem to happen around the 2 hour
+
mark.
I don't have the message dialog to hand but the RDi log looks like this:

java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method)
at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(SocketInputStream.java:127)
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:182)
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:152)
at com.ibm.as400.access.DataStream.readFromStream(DataStream.java:52)
at
com.ibm.as400.access.ClientAccessDataStream.construct
(ClientAccessDataStream.java:58)
at
com.ibm.as400.access.AS400ThreadedServer.run
(AS400ThreadedServer.java:357)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:785)

Once this happens I have to disconnect from the System in Remote System
Explorer ( which gives a fail message ) and then reconnect.
Then I have to end the QRWTSRVR job on the IBMi which will still have a
lock on the source member I was editing.

This happens consistently several times every day and at roughly 2 hour
intervals ( I think )

I don't have problems with ACS getting disconnected and the tech guy at
the
client site I am connecting to says there is nothing in the VPN that
would
kick me out on a time-based interval.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm not sure how to trace it further but it is kind of annoying having to
end QRWTSRVR jobs every couple of hours every day.

I'm still on RDi 9.6.0.1 but this issue has been there for a while.

Obviously I can see there is a read time out error, there is nothing in
the
log to suggest any kind of disconnection.

If I had to guess, my money would probably a disconnection related to the
VPN, which my general network and ACS are able to recover from but RDi
not,
however I have nothing to substantiate this.

Any advice / comments gratefully accepted.

thanks,
Craig
