Description

Resolution:
The TIBCO InConcert server and clients may generate many UNREACHABLE.TRANSPORT messages.  The messages are harmless and can be ignored.  When an RV transport is destroyed these messages are created.  The messages will be generate anytime IcClient.terminate or IcSession.terminate are called.  The only downside to them is some use of network bandwidth but this has never been severe problem in thousands of TIBCO InConcert installations.  The majority but not all of them will be eliminated in a Business Works Work Flow 5.2 and TIBCO InConcert 7.1.  Note also that all RV applications can generate these messages and this FAQ is only about TIBCO InConcert generations of these messages.

The IC server generates one message per worker and Event Action Daemon at startup and close.  The EA Daemon generates a steady stream of the messages every IC_ACTION_POLL_INTERVAL which has a default value of 60 seconds.  From one to three messages are generated every loop.  The IcRepDaemon generates one on start up and close.  Any TIBCO InConcert client will generate one or more messages at beginning and close.  The PC GUI and Batch Registry generate 2 on start up and shut down.

Increasing IC_ACTION_POLL_INTERVAL will generate less messages but if you are using triggers it will also delay any actions associated with triggers.

If you truely need to trace down who is generating the messages here is the method to do so.  First setup the tibrvlisten to listen for messages from only one computer, for example &gttibrvlisten "_RV.INFO.SYSTEM.UNREACHABLE.TRANSPORT.0A6122A3.>" with 0A6122A3 being replaced with the hexadecimal value of the IP address of the machine you are interested in.  On Windows before starting up the IC server go the Advance tab of the Configuration button and for the RV value "Description" put 'Server'.  That text string will now show up in the 'descr' of the tribrvlisten.  Specify a different string for the IcRepDaemon.  For the clients use the InConcert Setup Tool, click on Advance and again write a string for the description field.

On UNIX you will need to set the environmental variable IC_TIBRV_DESCRIPTION differently for each application before starting it up.
