I was on an older version of AIX, and i seem to remember a file called wtmp that would grow so large it slowed down the login process.
Not sure if this can help but i figured you should look at that file and see how large it is. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=overflows-resolving-in-var-file-system Resolving overflows in the /var file system<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=overflows-resolving-in-var-file-system> Check the following when the /var file system has become full. www.ibm.com ________________________________ From: jbase@googlegroups.com <jbase@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Alan Metz <alanm...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2023 2:58 PM To: jbase@googlegroups.com <jbase@googlegroups.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Jbase Response Delay CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

I did some more testing. btw AIX 6.1, no changes to AIX, and yes, using telnet I assume that you have ruled out network configuration changes? (We did increase bandwidth across the entire network recently) I removed the SD-WAN network from the equation over the weekend. I attached my laptop to a switch and the server ONLY to the same switch - I did notice the delay. Tried same setup with a different switch - noticed delay Tried different Ethernet cable from server to switch - noticed delay (I wrote a program to track the frequency by Executing a LISTPEQS and recording the time it took to render the results, if greater then 1 second I tracked the time - most iterations are less than 1 second. What I found out was that it appears a ~40 second delay occurs approximately 5 to 6 minutes apart. (there were a few 2 to 3 second pauses between that I excluded)) Event Date Start Time End Time Delay Seconds 04/18/2023 11:42:10AM 11:42:53AM 43 04/18/2023 11:47:56AM 11:48:39AM 43 04/18/2023 11:53:33AM 11:54:16AM 43 04/18/2023 11:59:28AM 12:00:12PM 44 04/18/2023 12:05:13PM 12:05:54PM 41 04/18/2023 12:11:03PM 12:11:39PM 36 04/18/2023 12:16:53PM 12:17:34PM 41 04/18/2023 12:22:34PM 12:23:17PM 43 04/18/2023 12:28:34PM 12:29:16PM 42 04/18/2023 12:34:05PM 12:34:48PM 43 04/18/2023 12:39:50PM 12:40:34PM 44 04/18/2023 12:45:43PM 12:46:26PM 43 04/18/2023 12:51:26PM 12:52:09PM 43 04/18/2023 12:57:05PM 12:57:49PM 44 04/18/2023 01:02:33PM 01:03:16PM 43 04/18/2023 01:08:26PM 01:09:09PM 43 04/18/2023 01:14:22PM 01:15:05PM 43 04/18/2023 01:19:58PM 01:20:42PM 44 04/18/2023 01:25:42PM 01:26:27PM 45 04/18/2023 01:31:41PM 01:32:25PM 44 My question is can I somehow determine if a background process is causing the hangs? I do have Phantoms jobs in Jbase running; however, The code has not changed in years and no new Phantoms have been added. I have added more users on the network over time, but removing the network as mentioned above was tested. Unfortunately, I didn't write the tracking program until Monday, after the "removing the network" test. (I will say that the delays didn't appear to be as frequent with just me and the server test - I suppose I could test that this weekend...) I wish I could provide more information, but I don't know what else to test??

What version of AIX are you running? Are you really using telnet and not ssh? Telnet is unlikely to be maintained. I assume that you have ruled out network configuration changes? Any upgrades to AIX lately? Any change to the network load? New devices? In the absence of any changes, then I would definitely be looking at network problems. When you say you tried with just one user, do you mean literally one device and the server only on the network? If there is a faulty system somewhere, or malware, then that would still eat your network Bandwidth. Finally, I presume you have done the obvious and rebooted the server and all the network gear? You’ll probably have to start from first principles with no devices on the network and gradually add them in.

At first I thought it was a network issue; however, I have tested this with only one user and the Jbase server plugged into a switch and was able to duplicate the hesitation. I am not logging any errors on my AIX server that would indicate a hardware issue. I am not sure how to further trouble-shoot this issue and am asking for suggestions. This system has been rock solid since 2018. Thanks, Al -- -- IMPORTANT: T24/Globus posts are no longer accepted on this forum.
