How will this idea be used?

We have workday batch processing in the evening. At the end of this batch processing, lots of files where serially transfered with C:D UNIX to a remote C:D node over a VPN Tunnel. The transmission lasts longer than 1 hour and the VPN Tunnel does a IKE Reinitiation where the VPN Tunnel is not available for about 1 second. During this time frame where the VPN Tunnel is not available for about 1 second, C:D recognized this and the transmission aborts. After the configured timeout, the transmission restarts.

The requested idea should solve this issue.

    Thank you for opening this RFE with IBM. I have reviewed it and your support case history and see that you have been directed to use the ndm.piggy.back.allow parameter in your initparms to bypass the 1 second outage that your VPN tunnel experiences. I believe this has resolved your issue so I will need to decline this enhancement request. If you have other ideas that we should consider moving forward please don't hesitate to use this tool again however.

    Sincerely,

    Chris Sanders
