RPC client hangs

[Jinu Joseph]

I am running an RPC server version 3 on an HP 9000 series machine (HP UX 11.00). My client is running on a Windows NT 4.0 machine. The client first calls a remote login routine from the server which it executes fine. Once the client has logged in the next thing it does is transfer data to the server using a remote call. Here the client goes into a hang state. However on the server side, the data has been received and a reply has been sent back (this was checked by putting debug messages in the function), but the client never gets the return message and simple times out.

Somebody please help ? what do i do to get things working.

However this same client works intermitantly on another server with the same setup. Here it works 1 time and rest of the times the client hangs.

Jinu,

Have you put debugging info on your client to determine if they are receiving the message? Is the data transfer large? Also, you might want to investigate using snort to monitor you packet io:

Hi

Patch PHNE_24909 and its dependencies solve a lot of these things

Harry thanks for your help. Debugs have been put in the client program also. The first call where it logs into the server is fine. However the client hangs at the second call where data is being transferred to the server from the client. It does not receive any response from the server after it sends the message to the server. However on the server side the data, that the client sent, has been received and the server sends back a response. This response the client never gets. The size of the message being sent by the client is subject to a maximum of 2048 bytes.
