Re: Communication required by SEP dropped -- WDSCI-L

There is an ENDDBGSVR job scheduled to run at 8:30pm every night, but that
runs at 8:30pm every night and not before or after. I've checked and this
job only ran once yesterday, and not so far today (as expected).

When you say "robot" do you mean the specific robot tool that can be
purchased, or generic scheduled jobs/processes? We do not have the robot
tool, nor any similar external applications in use on our IBM i.

I've done a few tests this morning, and it is exactly 15 minutes between
setting up the SEP and when the popup message comes up telling me the
connection has dropped. This doesn't sound like a scheduled process, but a
keepalive/timeout issue. I haven't been able to reproduce a debug session
also timing out, but that could be because I didn't give it enough time
between keypresses (I have a job to do, too :) ).

Do you have some robot set up to end the QB5* jobs on a schedule maybe?

Hi,

We've moved to a new IBM i box (also upgrading to v7.3 in the process) and
we were having problems where RDi would close connections every few
minutes. We fixed that by changing the CHGTCPA TCPKEEPALV setting to 5.

However, we are still getting an error whenever we use Service Entry Points
for debugging. After around 20 minutes after creating a new SEP we get a
popup saying "Communication required by Service Entry Point function
dropped. Service Entry Point(s) set by user BAILEYP at server DEV will be
removed." This also drops the debug session I might be in at the time,
although this might be an additional timeout/keepalive setting I'm missing.

Does anyone know what setting might be causing this timeout? Is it in RDi,
or is it another setting related to TCP/IP comms on the IBM i?

Regards,
Paul.
