I'm installing z/OS 1.8 on my sandbox. Our Oracle DBA person is testing it. I know nothing about Oracle. He says it worked fine on z/OS 1.6. He is getting the following:
<quote> ********************************* TOP OF DATA ********************************** SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production on Wed Sep 5 09:50:03 2007 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All Rights Reserved. SQL> SQL> Connected to an idle instance. SQL> ORA-03135: connection lost contact SQL> Disconnected ******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ******************************** The description for the error is as follows, ORA-03135: connection lost contact Either your server connection was terminated unexpectedly or your server timed out the connection. Check if the SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT in sqlnet.ora is not set too low. If this is not a problem, check if you have firewall issues. Some routers are set up to clean up idle TCP connections. We are not using SQLNET.ORA file in our configuration. Infact I am issuing the mount command via JCL which should not use the oracle net services, it should be using the Z/OS XM service (Z/OS cross memory). I have no clue about XM services, Could please take a look at the XM services and see if there is a timeout for connections? Appreciate your help. </quote> As best as I can see, there are no error messages in the MVS SYSLOG. I have no idea where to look or what to do to address this. Is anybody else out there running Oracle on z/OS 1.8 (or on z/OS any release)? I'm going to ask that he contact Oracle. I cannot as I don't have any access. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
