Hello HP3K experts,

Yesterday we've had an hanging user session on one of our machines. This
session was consuming as much CPU it could get. In Glance/XL we could see
that the prio was 0 and the CPU always greater than 95%. There was no
locking situation on the databases.

The ABORTJOB didn't work. An ALTPROC said that the PIN coudn't be altered.
In glance we saw that JSMAIN wat the only running program for that session.
The session was connected with JINETD and Reflection under Win/NT. The user
killed Reflection with the taskmanager. At this point the looping user was
created.

I've three questions for the HP3K list :


-1- Is there a way to abort a looping session.

-2- Could we prevent this problem with using DTC's and not JINETD.

-3- Is there a way to prevent a looping situation ?
