On one of our systems TCPIP$PWIP_ACP is the owner process of 100-200 what I call "dead" sockets, i.e. where Local and Remote ports = 0 and the Remote Host = *.
The number of dead sockets increases over time. I am investigating what is causing these sockets to appear. (Prime suspect is an RPC server application.)
Unfortunately when I attempt to shutdown either TCPIP (via TCPIP$CONFIG) or the PWIP driver itself (via TCPIP$PWIP_DRIVER_SHUTDOWN.COM) VMS crashes!
Looking at TCPIP$PWIPACP_
Tue Apr 14 10:19:56 2009: connReq_ast : *** Connect Request failed *** : 556
While I continue to track down the culprit do you have any suggestions? Specifically, do you know a means of deleting or clearing a specific socket connection?
Thank you very much. The attachment has system details. In brief, these are:
VMS 8.3 unpatched, Decnet Phase V, TCPIP 5.6, on an ES45
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Unable to delete zombie TCPIP$PWIP_ACP sockets
1) disconnect zombie sockets as they appear
2) apply the latest patches
3) track down the remote system(s) that are creating the zombies in the first place.
Later.
