	problem.

	The user is loosing his DECTERMs. 
	the configuration is: standalone WS 3200 - 16mb memory

1735.1Common question #2STAR::VATNEPeter Vatne, VMS DevelopmentTue Nov 14 1989 11:238
How to interpret system statuses:

$ write sys$output f$message(%x20e4)
%SYSTEM-F-LINKABORT, network partner aborted logical link
$ write sys$output f$message(%x20fc)
%SYSTEM-F-PATHLOST, path to network partner node lost

From this, I conclude your network is flaky.
1735.2The Decterms are localCASEE::CESARODanielle CesaroWed Nov 15 1989 04:027

>%SYSTEM-F-LINKABORT, network partner aborted logical link
 
The decterms are local, and created from the application menu. 
I thought that in such case the transport was not decnet. Am I wrong?

1735.3Your DECterms might not be using local transportSTAR::VATNEPeter Vatne, VMS DevelopmentWed Nov 15 1989 13:5111
I've double-checked the local transport code, and just don't see how
it could ever return the SYSTEM-F-LINKABORT status.  I have to conclude
that although you are running the DECterms locally, they are using the
DECnet transport.

An easy way to check this is to use ANALYZE/SYSTEM, set your process
index to the terminal controller process (e.g. DECW$TE_1), and do a
SHOW PROCESS/CHANNELS.  One of the channels should be to either
DECW$TRANSPORT_LOCAL.EXE or to DECW$TRANSPORT_DECNET.EXE.

Give it a try and let us know what you find.
1735.4Seems to be local transportCASEE::CESARODanielle CesaroFri Nov 24 1989 12:3173
	Sorry to be late answering, 

	Here is the result of the ANALYZE/SYSTEM; as you can see the transport
	seems to be local.
	I still got a lot of "connection closed" messages but
	the decterm are not always lost.

	Thanks for your help
	Danielle
