Some possible settings, YMMV:

INTERVAL=(MMSS,HHMM) INTERVAL FOR CERTAIN VPS FUNCTIONS
MRDINTVL=MMSS     MISSING RESPONSE INTERVAL
MAXPRTS=(????,???), MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PRINTERS DEFINED AND BUSY
TCPMRD=??,           MISSING TCPIP RESPONSE
TCPDISC=(N,Y,000?),  WAIT ? SEC BEFORE NEXT CONNECTION
RETRIES=?,          REQUEUE INTERNAL REROUTE 
REQROUTE=Y,          REQUEUE INTERNAL REROUTE

Above settings is about delays, missing response from TCP/IP and printers. You 
should look at other settings about sizing of work pieces, performance 
settings, etc.

We have customized over the years those and other settings (for VPS, JES2 (not 
JES3), TCP/IP, etc) for total of over 20000-25000 printers countrywide.

I agree with you.

Perhaps, you should check how 'random' does this problem occur and with what 
output. Check also from where are the print work coming and how many concurrent 
printers are active and working?

It is a good idea, perhaps you should ask LRS for help.

About SMF, you can have VPS write its own SMF records, but AFAIK these are VPS 
own type, not type 6. It seemed to me you should go to LRS too about this.

All of the very best for you.
