The pi buffer is filled from an interface. The buffer is filling up and nothing is getting to the server. I've tried my normal steps, stop the pi buffer subservice, remove the pibufq_<server name>.dat file, restart the pi buffer subservice. This has always fixed the problem. It didn't fix it this time.
When checking pibufss -cfg everything appears to be connecting but the server status shows SendError. I can't find anything on the net in regards to troubleshooting this beyond checking for a corrupt buffer file. What else should I be looking at?
Hello Steven,
For the buffer version that you are using, try doing the following procedure to resolve 24149OSI8, after backing up the buffer files: Stop pibufss and the interfaces on the buffered node, remove pibufmem.dat and restart interfaces and pibufss.
Regarding the OS, Windows XP was first released in 2001. The latest release (SP3) was more than 10 years ago. Since then, Microsoft ended support for it, and several security threats were discovered. The OS is targeted by hackers and attacks include ransomware. As you see, the recommendation for upgrading the OS is not only so that it is compatible with our newest products, instead, it is rooted in many important topics.
I do not recommend reverting to API buffering. It is a legacy product and the real issue here is using old technologies. Reverting to API buffering is yet another step in the wrong direction.
I would recommend first verifying the possibility of upgrading the application that requires Windows XP into a more recent version or at least trying to separate the interface and buffer so that they are on another machine with a more recent OS version, allowing for a buffer upgrade.
Regards,
Victor
