Subject: New PCs Getting Kicked Off the Mainframe
I have a problem that has me baffled on just how to proceed. Along with
our SAP/R3 project, most of our users are getting new PCs. Several users
who have had their PCs replaced are complaining that as they enter data in
CICS, they get kicked out. One particular user enters many many lines of
data, and if she gets kicked out she has to do some special backout, and
then enter all of the data again. The users are going from Windows 95 PCs
to current PCs running Windows XP.
These are the symptoms. They get the following message on their PC
screen:
<snip>
We are z/OS 1.2, running on an MP3000-H50. We run CICS TS 1.3. All users
on PCs get in through NVAS, and OnNet Host Suite 3270 Terminal emulation.
Eric,
OnNet is one of the worst emulators available, both from a programming and
support standpoint. I will bet real money that if you got an eval copy of
Vista, Rumba, Extra, or BlueZone, you wouldn't have the problem. OnNet
can't even decipher standard 3270 datastreams correctly. We ran traces and
showed them exactly where they were screwing up the buffer, but they blew us
off. Seriously, get another emulator. I use Vista.
Regards,
Tom Conley
