2777.0. "WIndows disappear - Txport(status = 20f4)" by VOGON::AWILLIAMS () Thu May 17 1990 09:00

 I have a problem with windows disappearing on satellites.I am running VMS 5.3, 
and Decwindows v2. I have noticed that the windows disappearing often coinsides
with other satellites leaving or joining the cluster. But it does happen at 
other times aswell. I have 2 CI machines, a 6340 and a 8800 and I use a quorum
disk.

One user made a note of the time his window vanished. I looked in 
DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG and found the following line :-

16-MAY-1990 15:12:50.4 Connection 2043a0 is closed by Txport(status = 20f4)

Not all windows disappear and  the user can restart the application without 
problems. Does this error give any clues as to whats happening ?

    If you have a logfile for the application, find out what its final
    status was.

    What you may be seeing is a DECnet timeout of the link.
