Many TCPIP$TNSnnn proc. and BG devices, can TCPIP$TELNETSYM_STREAMS be of help?

[Jan van den Boogaard]

Hello all,
We have a 7.3-2 system with tcpip 5.4, 2 node cluster, which has many TCPIP$TNSnn processes and 700 BG devices hanging around. Could the logical TCPIP$TELNETSYM_STREAMS be useful here ? What experience do you have with this particular logical ? Why are all these BG devices staying for mounths and not deleted /disconnected automatically?

Thks, Jan

Jan, do you have a corresponding number of queues?
The default of the STREAMS log. is 32, i.e. without it every symbiont process should treat 32 queues.
Have you read the app. chapter about TELNETSYM printing here:

Jan,

you can use SHOW DEV/FULL BGxxx to find out, which process owns these BG devices. UCX SHOW DEV BGnnn shows which remote node is associated with this socket.

By default, TCPIP$TELNETSYM should disconnect the IP session to the printer at the end of the print-job. You can influence this behaviour with the TCPIP$TELNETSYM_IDLE_TIMEOUT logical.
