Hello everyone... We have been running for a week now after upgrading from z/OS 1.4 w/ CA TCPIP to z/OS 1.7 running both IBM and CA stacks. Everything is going thru IBM except for FTP and some telnet. About the only problem we have left is this one:
Throughout the day and night when batch jobs run, the reports the jobs produce are sent via TCPIP LPR (EPS) to a windows server running HBOC/McKesson software called Laserarc. This is online report viewing software. Things work fine for a while but sometime during the day or night we stop being able to send reports to Laserarc. During the day not much is sent - we might have a successful send at 09:00 and not try again until 15:00, which fails. When it fails after hours, none of the nightly reports are available for users to view when they get to work. The message our software puts out is: T07OB058E OLPR1_J29562 unable to connect to remote host (48): Socket T07OB058E+connection attempt timed out A ping or tracert indicates everything is ok. traceroute to xxx.yy.3.147 (xxx.yy.3.147), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 xxx.yy.3.147 (xxx.yy.3.147) 3 ms 1 ms 1 ms CS V1R7: Pinging host xxx.yy.3.147 Ping #1 response took 0.003 seconds. (NETSTAT shows) EPS 0023794E xxx.yy.1.71..721 xxx.yy.3.147..515 SynSent We continue to get timeouts until the server and/or server software is restarted (not sure what gets restarted). We, the mainframe side, don't have to do anything. When the server is restarted we start sending again. The server people have contacted McKesson for Laserarc support but they haven't got anywhere yet. We (MF people) are the ones who converted and changed something and this problem started later in the night after conversion. Does anyone have any ideas of something we may not have set up right in TCPIP or pointers of what to look for? We do a lot of networked printing and aren't having this problem with anything else. Thanks for any help and sorry for the length.
