IPC2100017 - createIPCMsgq error message AS400

This morning we are experiencing unusual problems on our Production system. After about 2 minutes of restarting all E811 Services (on AS400, Websphere box), the system becomes extremely slow. Reports will work the first time then will stop working at all. Logging onto E811 takes 5 minutes rather than a couple of seconds. We are getting this in the message logs on the IFS which we thing may be part of the issue, not sure. The message repeats on every log:

Anyone ever see this error message? Thanks,

Did you allow the CLRIPC command to finish? If so, you may have corrupt IPC space...if so quick solutions is to endnet again, change your IPC range in the .ini ..clripc, and then strnet....the corrupt IPC will disappear after an IPL...then you can change the range back...

I have also seen a simialar meesge when the QPRINTQUEUE is full or your have reach the max for next number. easy fix for both, cleanup the QPRINTQUEUE via opsNav and for next number, you need to SQL UPDATE SVM7333/F986111 SET JCJOBNBR=1

Hope that helps

Thanks. Late in the day, that is what Oracle suggested we try and that corrected the issues. We did not however change it back. We started at 4101 then went to 2101. We originally set it at 4101 because we had Xe and E811 running at the same same when we were upgrading.

What do you mean by QPRINTQUEUE? Where is this in OpsNav? Is this the PRINTQUEUE folder on the IFS?
