Hi Dennis,

I would not suggest bringing down TCP/IP without bringing down the Newi
daemons first - they are likely looping because you have ended TCP out from
underneath them while they are running and listening on ports.

Try either ending the subsystem they run in or end them manually with
option
4, then bring down TCP.


Thanks

Subject: V4R4M0 & NEWI problems


To all and I apologize for the length of this email but it takes space to
explain what is wrong & what's been done:

We are running ver.6.0.02plf, c/s, Mar'98 cum on an AS/400 model S20 with
dual processors, V4R4M0, & all the latest cum, database, hiper, y2k,
performance tools, & client access ptf's.

As part of our "day end" process, I bring down IP as a means of keeping
people from being logged on while I do a backup of the system & BPCSF data
library.

Since going from V4R2M0 to V4R4M0 this last weekend, I have been having
trouble with my production machine.  I was baby sitting it last night & was
able to determine that when I shut down TCP/IP, the NEWI daemons "peg" both
processors & the IP shut down takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to end.
Looking at the job log, all I see is a blank time gap from 23:16:57 to
00:57:23 when nothing is logged.  When I start my "day end", I change the
job attributes to LOG(4 00 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES).  What I did last night
after seeing the processors peg was to WRKACTJOB SBS(SUBSYSN) and kill the
two NEWI jobs that had the system running at over 100% utilized.  As soon
as
I did that, the rest of my day end process continued normally.  Is there a
"better way" to stop all the daemons running?

These same programs (BPCS & "day end" ) run on my test box (a single
processor 720) running the same software & ptf levels & it woks just fine.
Obviously, there is a difference someplace - but where.

I wrote all these programs about 2 ½  years ago when we first started with
BPCS & IP.  Being a novice to both at the time, the way I chose to do it
was
stop IP.  But I also stop the BPCS subsystem.  We do have a major VB
application that gets at the BPCS data & the only way I have to lock them
out is to bring down IP.

Searching through OGS, the only reference I found to NEWI/OMS was BMR 45731
which doesn't really apply to my current problem but is something I also
have a problem with.  It was reported on 6.0.02 & fixed for 6.0.04 & 6.1 -
no mention of a fix for 6.0.02.  I filed a HelpLine incident & now I wait
for them to respond.

I'm tired of waiting & am looking for some input from others in the BPCS
community as to their possible solutions/questions/comments, etc.

I also logged an incident with IBM & after working with them for a couple
of
hours yesterday, I was told to call my ERP vendor.  According to all the
logs we looked at, IP was doing what it was supposed to be without any
errors.

Thanks - Dennis
