Re: Firewall/400 problems, not starting properly and can't view web interface

Hello Nathan,

Does the monitor job of your firewall stay on status *TIMW (in
wrkactjob)
 or does it reach the *SELW status after STRNWSAPP.

Here a brief 1-2-3 list for starting all over again:

1. Firewall doesnt't start correctly: Configuration file is not found.
 (symptom: in monitor joblog there are no messages of loaded cfg files
and/or paths)
2. NWSD  VRYCFG  *OFF
3. edit NWSD of your Firewall as follows:
   Config file/library: QAISADPK/QIPSINT . then VRYCFG *ON .......
4. SBMNWSCMD,   md e:\firewall\fwmigr44.bas, Servername, *base
5. NWSD VRYCFG  *OFF
6. Undo your changes on NWSD of 3).
7. NWSD  VRYCFG *ON

Now you should be up and running !

(I got these tips from a colleague of mine, Dr. Johannes Bley from
BMU/Germany,
we had these problems three weeks ago on a 720 with V4R4 on it)

Good luck from germany, Philipp Rusch
