We have success of sorts. The link can now recover from the socket errors it experiences approximately every 20 minutes when it is not kept busy. The MVS folks are questioning why these timeouts occur. I see the same time-outs on a VM to VM link. The network people tell me that MVS is getting a "getpeername" socket error.
Is this something that is normal? If not, how do I fix it? FWIW, our two VM systems have the following RSCS parameters: ITO=100 (default meaning do not enforce an Inactive Time Out interval) KEEPALIV=YES The definitions in TCPIP are: KEEPALIVEOPTIONS INTERVAL 20 SENDGARBAGE TRUE ENDKEEPALIVEOPTIONS I find nothing in either TCP/IP or RSCS that specifies a 20 minute interval for anything.
