TCPIP TELNET message in Operator.log

P. Coulier — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 09:09:19 GMT

I get following messages in Operator.log since a couple of days on a AXP800 running VMS 7.3-2

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 16-NOV-2006 13:35:07.16 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user TCPIP TELNET on XXXXXX
Session TNA2616: disconnected
Devices without reconnection parameters are deleted

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 16-NOV-2006 13:36:07.37 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user TCPIP TELNET on XXXXXX
Session TNA2617: disconnected
Devices without reconnection parameters are deleted

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 16-NOV-2006 13:37:07.57 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user TCPIP TELNET on XXXXXX
Session TNA2618: disconnected
Devices without reconnection parameters are deleted

What is causing these messages exactly? It could have something to do with an install of ABS (Archive Backup System), but I'm not 100% sure. What can I do to avoid these messages.

Thanks in advance

Just a guess:

If you create a TELNET devices (TELNET> CREATE_SESSION) you may a specify a reconnection timeout, i.e. if a write to the device fails, after which interval should it be retried.
Your application seems to delete the devices, if the write fails.
Who is the owner of the devices?

That's my point exactly!

The TNAxxxx devices are not detectable on the system via SHOW DEVICE TNA. How can I see this info?

Never testet it, but try

$ REPLY/ENABL=SECURITY
$ SET AUDIT/ALARM/ENA=CREATE/CLASS=DEVICE

Enabling the device-creation audit alarm is not giving me any additional info.

I will try to disable the TCPIP-communication between ABS-servers in order to see if these messages are ABS related.

The system I'm seeing these messages is configured as our ABS-databaseserver...
