It's been six years since I did this on a BPCS 6.0.04 CS site. We had three production environments and three test environments. So it can be done. I remember the user id and password being limited to eight characters was the biggest problem. The users kept using nine and ten characters passwords. They would say "I can log on to the green screen with it..." but they couldn't get on CS with it.

The second biggest problem was the setup issues; making all the INLIBL's match the JOBD's library lists. and yes, the port numbers had to be unique and tied to the ALAUNCH job. The ALAUNCH job was auto-started off the subsystem which was shutdown and restarted weekly. Once I got one client setup to all libraries correctly I copied the forteen or so INI files from one client to the next so they all would be the same.

What settings are you using on your client.
We get that message when we do not have a test ALAUNCH deamon started on
the 400.
Also, what port are you using to connect , you need to use a separate port
from your live system.

A few ideas.

1. Does your test environment have a different user library than your live
environment which contains the INLIBL data area, BPCSMENU program object,
TCPIPJOBD, and ALAUNCH program object and all of these specify the correct
library or library list for the environment being connected to?

2. When you submit the ALAUNCH job for the test environment are you using a
different port number than used in live?

3. Do your workstation settings in the session manager match your library
list, port, and TCP/IP address being connected to?

4. Does the BPCS user id in the test environment have security to sign onto
CEA icons?

Is you version of test the same as your prod? Note some versions the userid
and password both have to be less then 9 long. Also check the jobd's etc in
the lib that you are listing as your user lib under sever in workstation
settings.

On the workstation settings, server tab, did you put in the correct port
number for the environment?  Also need to change the libraries to point
to the correct environment.

We are running on BPCS version 6.1.01. The problem we are having is setting up the session client to connect to our test environment. The session client works fine in production, but when we change the parameters to connect to test we get FATAL ERROR: Cannot start physical server. Check INI file. Have gone through jobd, jobq, Checking how Alaunch is being submitted, NWICFG , everything we can think of and come up empty. Anybody have suggestion on

what we may be overlooking.

Thanks,
