4365.0. "MCC_STM_LSTNR loop" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Sun Jan 10 1993 10:45

    When doing an autoconfig of DECnet Phase IV nodes on a LAN, the tool
    attempts comm with each node found in the seeds data base.
    
    It spends approximately 2 minutes waiting for I assume a response. 
    During this time task MCC_STM_LSTNR is running in a tight loop using
    all available cpu.  
    
    Why was this method used to wait for an interrupt which would allow
    continuation of the process?
    
    Also, is there any way to shorten the amount of time the process waits
    for a timeout to occur?
    
    Thanks,

4365.1DECnet sets the timeoutsFARMS::LYONSAhh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.Mon Jan 11 1993 12:344
    To shorten the timeout, go into DECnet (NCP) and set the timeout you
    would like.  The utility just gets a "normal" decnet link, and hence
    will use the timeouts and retries that any DECnet user would get for
    a Connect Initiate (CI) packet.

    I assume you are referring to the OUTGOING TIMER under the EXECUTOR.
    
    I will give it a try.
