Dear List readers: At Virginia Commonwealth University, we have had a problem develop within our DISOSS mail network. FFT documents coming from IBM System 36 machines using Personal Services/36 and going through our IBM 3081K MVS machine (which acts as the DISOSS hub) to the VAX VMS system running DDXF are locking up and not being properly received at the VAX end. FFT documents from the S36's are primarily PS/36 NOTEs. PS/36 RFT MAIL and PS/36 MESSAGEs are able to be received correctly. On the VAX end the lockup is characterized by receiving the profile (something.PRF file), but only creating the document file (something.DOC) which never gets any records written to it. A trace of the PU shows the records being sent from the MVS system to the SNA Gateway. The MVS system does not remove the document from the queue of documents headed to the VAX and the communications stall until one of the machines aborts the connection (manually or by timeout). FFT documents from WANG OS DISOSS hosts come through ok. We are running: DEC DDXF version 1.4 PS/36 V1,R5.1, PTF 3811 Is anyone running a similar configuration, and has anyone solved this problem? Please respond directly to me and I will summarize for the list. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Vernon R.
