 For communication calls (receive, send, etc) often the cause of errors                                               
 are network problems.                                                                                
It could also be a configuration problem at operating system level.

In the dev_ traces are not more informations.

Dear Chris,

more information should be in dev_rd. The error means that a TCP connection to the specified server/port could not be established. You will see the same error, when you do 'telnet <host> <port>' on a port that is not being used. If dev_rd does not give more info, then do the following:

1. Reset the trace file dev_rd (e.g. from transaction SMGW)

2. Set the profile parameters:

rdisp/TRACE_PATTERN_0 = Q0I

rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING = on, 20 m

3. Increase the trace level of the gateway

This will run the gateway in trace level 2 up to the point in time when there is another Q0I syslog. dev_rd should then tell you the server and port that is being used.

Best Regards,
