RE: Toolbox connection problem

James,

Is it a firewall/networking problem. Each of the services use particular
ports, and if they are not available that's the kind of message your going
to get.

Have you got a software firewall running on that PC?

cheers

Subject: Toolbox connection problem


Another "baby step" into the Toolbox:
We've taken some code I wrote on one AS/400, running locally and accessing
files (2 files of identical format) locally through Toolbox calls, and
incorporated it into a program that runs on a Windoze box, and accesses a
different AS/400 through a network connection. It gets as far as
instantiating a SequentialFile, and getting an AS400FileRecordDescription on
a file (I haven't yet inserted a diagnostic to determine whether the record
description comes back valid), but then it starts throwing exceptions,
trying to do a retrieveRecordFormat() on the record dscription, and it fails
to open the files.

The files are there. In the library where they're expected to be.

The initial exception appears to be a "Connection Refused" at the
retrieveRecordFormat.

WRKTCPSTS shows that the "as-signon" and "as-svrmap" servers on the target
box have been recently accessed, but not the as-cent, as-data, as-dtaq,
as-file, as-netprt, as-rmtcmd, as-netd, as-tran, or as-vrtp.

About all the code I can share is:
. . .
System.out.println("$$$ Filename = " + fileName.getPath()); SequentialFile
file = new SequentialFile(as400, fileName.getPath()); . . .
System.out.println("$$$ Archive = " + archName.getPath()); SequentialFile
arch = new SequentialFile(as400, archName.getPath());
AS400FileRecordDescription recDes = new AS400FileRecordDescription(as400,
fileName.getPath()); try {
    RecordFormat recFmt = recDes.retrieveRecordFormat()[0];
    System.out.println("$$$ Format = " + recFmt.getName());
    file.setRecordFormat(recFmt);
    arch.setRecordFormat(recFmt);
    file.open(SequentialFile.READ_WRITE, 1,
SequentialFile.COMMIT_LOCK_LEVEL_NONE);
    arch.open(SequentialFile.WRITE_ONLY, 1,
SequentialFile.COMMIT_LOCK_LEVEL_NONE);
    System.out.println("event file is open:" + file.isOpen());
    System.out.println("event archive file is open:" + arch.isOpen()); . . .

Anybody know what could be going wrong?
