Subj: "Network partner exited" message
Date: 2 JAN 86 09:23-EST
From time to time, users sending network messages from within the
VMS Mail Utility are confronted with the following message:
%MAIL-E-LOGLINK, error creating network link to node 0
-System-F-Linkexit, network partner exited
After re-trying the same message 2 or 3 times the error goes away
and the message is successfully sent, but this is annoying.
Generally when this error occurs when using just plain DECnet to deliver
a message, it's an indication that the remote server process did not respond
within a timeout period. There are a couple of VAXen on our own internal
network with tremendous loads on them during the day, and the "network
partner exited" error is a frequent occurance. The solution for this problem
(again in the case of DECnet) is to increase the Outgoing Timer and the
Incoming Timer with NCP.
I do not know for sure, but your RSCS server process may not be responding
quickly enough. Is your system load high enough where this might be a problem?
