Control-M is not correctly executing porcess chains in SAP BI
Hi Diana, As you say it worked for 3 days and then you get the error again – to me it seems like a connection issue between agent and application.

Do I need to use QoS for full and half-duplex network configurations?
With only 4 ports for voice, it may work fine without QoS set, but the general recommendation is that you have a Layer 3 (L3) switch. Even without QoS you can put voice and data on separate subnets. Without knowing the amount of traffic passed for data or voice, it is hard to say. But [...]

One thing you might want to look at would be the access path you are using. For example, if you are reading a non keyed physical file, you might get better performance if you read a keyed logical or used some embedded SQL to retrieve your data set.
