There was similar problem submitted to this list in the past but I cannot recall for which version. As you are running basic unpatches v4.2.0 the chances to have this fixed after upgrade to latest v4.2 maintenance (if you cannot afford upgrade to v5.x) are high. I have no time to dig the list archives or APAR database but you can. This would reveal to you at which level the problem appeared and probably also at which level it was resolved.
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Nazeer Parak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10.11.2003 11:25 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Idle Sessions Hi i wonder if anyone could possibly be of assistance to me regarding the following: firstly i am running TSM 4.2.0 on OS 390 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The problem i am having only recently is that everytime a client node polls the server the polled session remains as an idle session indefinately. This results in pages of idle sessions at any given time. eventually actual backup sessions are refused and server response becomes incredibly slow and at times TSM even abends. the only way to get rid of the idle poll sessions is to cancel them manually with a "can se" or cycle the server when it becomes too deadlocked. this is a new problem as i have never had it before, in fact previously client polls happen so fast you dont even see the session.(the way it should be). if anyone has had something like this or if nyone knows of anything i may be able to do to fix this problem i would greatly appreciate it. Also if you do reply to this please could you also copy your reply to me personally off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as i may not receive it otherwise. thanks in advance. ____________________________________________Nazeer Parak Systems Engineer Arivia.kom * Phone: 203-6062 * Cell: 084-447-7771 E-Mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTICE: Please note that this eMail, and the contents thereof, is subject to the standard arivia.kom email disclaimer which may be found at: http://www.arivia.co.za/disclaimer.htm.
