With DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS Version V6.3-ECO05 on AXp OpenVMS V6.2-1H3
we are using IPC system services between two applications installed
on two different nodes .
When we make a shutdown, the application sees that the node is down
but we make a "CUT OFF", the application doesn't see that the node
is down : which is the difference netween a shutdown and a cut-off
We are using two ethernet boards with a double ethernet network.
Thanks to answer very fast .

When DECnet is shut down, it sends a message to any network application on the system being shutdown, to notify the application. Normally an application would respond to this message by terminating any logical links it may have with other applications. When the network is "cut off" you need to wait for transport to determine that the other system is unreachable. This can take a lot of time (minutes), depending on whether the application was transmitting data at the time (versus relying on the keepalive timer), what your delay weight and delay factor are set at, along with your retransmit threshold. --Scott | |||||
