Re: Navigator For i

Possibly due to the issue that Chrome does not support Active X?

Can anyone tell me why Chrome is so stubborn?

Anyway, don't use Chrome to test the connection. You will just beat your

Pete,

Well then, I can recreate your error! Internally FrankieV is at
172.29.2.40 or V7R1Prod.Frankeni.com. If I access
http://172.29.2.40:2001 I get a log in but EVERY functions yeilds the
red(ish) box with TCTUI1003E. If I use

http://v7r1prod.frankeni.com:2001

then that works perfectly.

Here's the thing, MANY of the functions we use daily work Okey Dokey
when we use the IP address to access the server. IBM Navigator for i is
NOT one of those things!

So mostly you have it right, what you've not got correct is how

you're

ACCESSING the system. If you think about apache and how it directs
inbound requests to the various servers you can have MANY virtual hosts
on the same server. Even Frankie (a lowly 170 on V5R3) runs
www.frankeni.com www.idevcloud.com www.iinthecloud.com

www.midrange.com

and others. In order for apache to know which virtual host to ring up

it

looks at the inbound URL. The IP address, however, is not a URL.

So try this as a simple solution. In your own local hosts file add

the

10.0.10.205 address with the FQDN of VASi5.valadd.com then in your
browser use http://VASi5.valadd.com:2001 and I think you will have a
'Kazaa' moment. :-)

The correct solution of course is to put that in your local DNS so
that you don't need to mess with host table entries on the machines

that

access the server.

well so lemme ask a couple of questions....

When you say that the FQDN and IP match up, are you saying that the

Work

with TCP/IP Host Table entries must match (Option 10 on CFGTCP?).

Match

*what* exactly? And when you say test if from the IBM i partition,

are

you saying that it should be pingable or?

The IP address for the IBM i on my LPAR is 10.0.10.205 (at least, one

of

the IP addresses assigned to the line description is). I have that

IP

assigned to VASi5.valadd.com in the host table entries. When I

access

Navigator from my browser on the local network I type in
10.0.10.205:2001 and I get a very nice looking log in prompt and

then

see the menu. Basically every option on the menu returns TCTUI1003E
just like Buzz.

I DO get a security warning from Chrome that the certificate isn't
trusted when I access the page originally but that is about all I

see.

I *just* put on the latest groups and CUME. Regardless of how and

when

I start the *ADMIN server, I always see this error. I always have

but

it hasn't been a big deal since I use 5250j and IBM i Access when I

have

to. But it would be nice to have this working......Web Admin and DCM
work fine. I just have never gotten Navigator to work.

Be very positive in no uncertain terms that the IP address used to

that the rDNS record matches that IP address. Be sure to test this

Navigator

for i INCLUDED) will not work correctly.

Second be sure you have all the correct Java components installed

and

have current PTF groups for HTTP, JAVA, TCP and that the HIPER group

is

reasonably current as well.

Also if a lot of things start when your system starts and you don't

have

very many disk arms. Try ending and restarting the *ADMIN server

when

the system isn't very busy. I have seen that on systems with few

arms

where everything starts at once that the *ADMIN server doesn't

finish

starting correctly and this is one of the issues that surfaces.

Google has not been my friend, so far. Has anyone run into this
