| Hello Antonio,
|
| Like most of the others responding I don't know much about DLFM either.
| However I have started it here on occasion.  It is yet another poxy Unix
| port and sends most messages to the terminal session.  Thanks very much to
| the idiot who designed that!  No second-level help. Doh!
|
| I could not find any log files in the IFS that related to DLFM.
| Given that
| DLFM is a Unix port it would be usual to find a log file with some sort of
| diagnostic information.
|
| DLFM starts successfully here.  I vaguely recall having to do some
| configuration the first time I started it.
|
| When you start DLFM it cranks up at least 8 BCI jobs in the same subsystem
| as the one you ran STRTCPSVR *DLFM in.  These jobs do not
| normally generate
| a joblog so I changed the logging level.  There are no messages in any of
| the joblogs.  That may be because DLFM starts successfully but I doubt it.
| I don't think they send any joblog messages.  I think all messages go back
| to the terminal session.  These jobs appear to start the real
| QZDLM jobs in
| QSERVER.
|
| On my system (OS/400 VRM440 with latest Cume) there are only seven QZDLM
| jobs.  I am missing the QZDFMCHD job so I don't think the fact it
| is missing
| is your problem.
|
| Given what you say regarding ENDTCPSVR not ending DLFM and that
| OpsNav can't
| start or stop DLFM then the first thing I would do is ensure that you are
| current on PTFs.  Then I would rerun INZDLFM and ensure that it completes
| without errors.
|
| Since I was only interested in starting and stopping DLFM I don't think I
| defined prefixes or host information.  Perhaps there is something
| wrong with
| those definitions.  I think you should run INZDLFM *ALL and then STRTCPSVR
| *DLFM and see if it starts.  If it does then define prefix and host
| information in stages.  Start and stop DLFM between each stage to
| locate the
| point of failure.
|
| Regards,
| Simon Coulter.
