Re: RUNRMTCMD connection problem -- MIDRANGE-L

Steven

Do you have Client Access on both machines? The option you need is called Incoming Remote Command in Client Access. It might need to be installed. Then you go to the Client Access group under Programs and find the Properties item. There's an Incoming Remote Command tab is it is installed. Put your userid stuff there.

If you do not have Client (or iSeries) Access on the machine that does not connect, there are other rexecd apps out there. There might even be one in Win 2K, just needs installing.

All,

I have 2 NT2000 servers which I need to run a PC job against , the running
of this job being controlled by my AS400.
To perform this function I am using the RUNRMTCMD command from a CL program.
The problem that I have is as follows ,

The CL program works correctly for only 1 of the servers , the data is
extracted and the program runs successfully.
The other server immediately comes up with the following message

CPE3452 A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.

Both servers have the same user ID and password which are not disabled ,
both allow FTP using this user ID/password , but server 2 will not allow
remote jobs to be run.

I have compared the services on both servers , they look identical , the RPC
service is running on the 2nd server.

Is there a check list that I could use to make sure that the server is
correctly set-up for my AS400 RUNRMTCMD to work?

The only difference that I can see is that server 1 has PC Anywhere
installed whilst server 2 uses VNC.
