Are there any messages on the OPERATOR console about "MAINT forced by SYSTEM"?
By default, the system will try to forced of disconnected userids that have a VM READ or CP READ posted 15 after they disconnect. If you get MAINT connected for a little while with Logon MAINT HERE, then something is forcing the disconnect. Often that happens if TCPIP buffers are too small (what's the screen size on the emulator logged onto MAINT?). Look for TCPIP error messages in files from TCPIP in the reader queue of TCPMAINT. Also, check for NETSTAT display command syntax for anything with buffer displays (sorry, I'm not logged on and don't have NETSTAT's peculiar syntax memorized yet). Are you working with a tape drive when MAINT is forced DISC? Sometimes pending I/Os to hardware devices can prevent even logon HERE from working until the I/O is complete of canceled (see: CP HALT rdev) - if logon HERE works, count your blessings. Let us know how it goes. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates (Sent from the wee keyboard on a Blackberry.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin, Terry R.

I think something is not right leading up to this. I tried logging on to MIANT with HERE I get the user id for a few minutes and than by session is lost. I can not see any logs that might give me any indication what might be happening. Any help would be appreciated!
