We have a channel defined between OS/390 (Sender) and HP-UX (Receiver). Since I have no visibility on the OS/390, I set up a simple script to capture the CHLSTATUS every 30 minutes. The channel has a disconnect interval of 90 minutes.
I use the msgs value of the CHLSTATUS to get an idea on the number of transaction that have passed through the channel. Four of the five channels work well, the channel starts, message pass along the channel and the channel disconnects properly. The fifth channel acts strangely. I examined the error log and got even more confused. Comparing the error log with the 30 minute CHLSTATUS shows. Channel Starts 02:53:22 No Transactions Sent 03:26:22 No Transactions Sent 05:02:35 No Transactions Sent 06:12:37 No Transactions Sent 06:35:31 No Transactions Sent 07:19:51 No Transactions Sent 07:53:55 1 Transaction Sent 08:58:06 439 Transactions Sent 09:33:10 No Transactions Sent 10:55:14 5 Transactions Sent 11:53:12 No Transactions Sent 12:35:22 No Transactions Sent 13:38:11 No Transactions Sent 14:32:49 No Transactions Sent It appears the channel is started, sends no transactions, and then shuts down before the discint(6000) runs out. We checked the operators and they are not stopping the channels. Any idea what might be happening.
