[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 04 April 2011]We use attachmate as our emulator. I am testing scenarios with Rhumba and attachmate. The biggest set back I have is the number of printer sessions that can be opened. I have found where Rhumba maxes out around 32 and attachmate for us is maxing out around 72. We have 200 cics printers. They are not active all at once and some may not be active for weeks. So I would like to be able to dynamically open/close these printer sessions as needed. The biggest problem with that thought is that when you manually close a printer session, the region goes into a "NOT RESPONDING" mode. At this point I have to forcably stop then reatrt the region. Not good for production. This happens with both Rhumba and Attachmate. How do I get CICS to dis-connect and re-connect printer sessions at my discretion without causing problems??

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 21 March 2012]CASSTART - when the script runs twice the second time shuts down the region.In testing thi start up script. I placed the call to the script in the "execute now" box.I clicked on the execute button and the region started without problems.I then accidentally clicked on the execute button again and the region showed "stopped" and under the status log the "server" and "CP 1" had no indicators. The task manager had the cascd and the casmgr still running. I killed these guys and brought the region down.So I guess there's 2 questions implied:a) why does starting a region which cause the region to crashb) if the status is stopped why were the tasks still running?Any thoughts...

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 25 February 2012]Is there a way to stagger the timing of the regions starting up?We've noticed a trend that when the server is bounced, the regions (3) all attempt to start at the same time. at one of the regions will fail to start when this happens. I end up with orphaned tasks running and trying to figure out which process/task goes to whatever IS up & running is a nightmare. What we've got are 2 cobol prgorammers turned dba's, network specialists etc over night who haven't a clue. To me the simplest solutionwould be to alternate the startup of the regions. So tell me whats wrong with this thinking or direct me to some knoweledge please. When I look for documentation I don't find anything, so we've probably got a problem there too. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 01 March 2012]Our environment: Windows XP server 2003 and windows only platform.This has abeen a thorn for over a year where neither support nor my staff have nee able to come up with an acceptable resolution. Let me clarify my staff: 2 cobol programmers thrown into dot net, networking, dba etc in other words clueless. In that year we've learned a lot. Suppoprts answer to the problem was to run a utility against one the existing cascd processes in a DOS command window where the result would be the region name. However, in our case rarely do we have a cascd or casmgr running in task manager. We/support have not figured that out, but it also leaves anywhere from 1 to hundreds of "cassi" processes to be terminated. SO the question remains, how do you tell when a region is running or not. I have discovered a microsoft command called "NETSTAT" which will show active connections. Actually it shows the connect
