2225.0. "rpc_x_comm_failure" by MUFFIT::gerry (Gerry Reilly) Tue Apr 22 1997 11:39

Under what conditions can an rpc_x_comm_failure error be returned ?

We are seeing this occur after the application has been stable for
some hours.  The RPC client and server are on the same system
and therefore I also doubt a network failure!  Error always
shows at client.

Could this just be a certificate expiring and not being renewed 
in time ?

This is Digital UNIX V4.0A with DCE V2.0A ECO1.

Thanks for any insights.

 i've seen this error happen when there was a problem in the server code
 such as a thread termination due to some fault (though you normally get
 another error code).

    You may also make sure that the endpoints in the endpoint database are
    correct for the server.

	also, i did some checking -- this exception code can be produced
   if you are using a datagram protocol such UDP and the server is busy
   processing other requests. 

   You might try to increase the number of listen threads for the server
   and see if you still get the error.

RE: -.1

Increasing the number of listener threads appears to have fixed the
problem.  Thanks for the suggestion.
