  • Subject: 400 to 4690 POS Store Controller
  • From: Neil Palmer <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 11:37:26 -0400

Have a customer who had 4690 POS Store Controllers connected to their 400 
via SDLC and IBM's 5769-CF1 Point Of Sale Utility.
Custome rnow has a WAN in place so we replaced the SDLC communications 
with TCP/IP.
We replaced the send and receive file retail file commands (SNDRTLF & 
DLTRTLF/CRTRTLF/RCVRTLF) that were part of 5769-CF1 with SNDTCPF & RCVTCPF 
(command interface to FTP from an August 1995 News/400 article by Julian 
Monypenny).
What were having problems with is replacing the SBMRTLPGM command, used to 
kick off a price update on the POS system, with the RUNRMTCMD command. 

When we try something like:
RUNRMTCMD CMD('CALL TEST') 
          RMTLOCNAME(REMOTELOC *IP)
          RMTUSER('userid') 
          RMTPWD('password')

We get CPE3425  A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.

I don't know much about 4690's but I thought they ran OS/2.  Turns out 
it's a variation of OS/2 called Flex OS.
Does anyone know how to get the system to accept remote commands from the 
400 ?


...Neil
