A few months ago I posted a message about the Alarm Handler (alh)
periodically disconnecting all its records to an IOC, and then immediately
reconnecting. This caused alh to alarm COMM INVALID.
It turns out that the disconnects occur exactly 2 hours, 11 mintes, and 15
seconds (that is 7875 seconds) after the most recent CA server 'send'. I
can observe this server disconnect/reconnect on clients alh (1997 and 1999
versions), medm 2.3.4a, and the save_set archiver. The trick is to have an
alh CA client connection which has no alarm transitions for 2:11:15, or a
medm client which has no value change for 2:11:15. CA connections with
other IOCs do not exhibit this disconnect behavior.
Solaris clients, mv177 server platform, CA V4.8
I have put an alarmcountfilter'd 'keepalive' record in the alh
configuration file which momentarily alarms every hour to reset the server's
'send' time. Is there a real solution to this or am I missing something?
