Dave,

I have seen these exact symptoms on several systems after upgrades to 
V5R2.  Works for a while, then doesn't, then does, then...
It's usually, but not always, from PC's that are not running V5R2 version 
of iSeries Access.
Sometimes rebooting the PC's helps (but not often).  Sometimes ending and 
restarting the Host Servers works.  Occasionally nothing works until 
TCP/IP is ended and restarted.

Preventive measures I've found that seem to help:
1) Make sure the Management Central Server is running, and that it isn't 
ended/restarted by some scheduled job (like nightly backup).  You couldn't 
get a complete backup of library QIWS on earlier releases when certain 
Servers were running, but with changes in V5R2 that seems to have been 
addressed.
2) As always, make sure you're up to date on Cumulative PTF's and Hiper 
PTF's, and make sure the PC Clients have the latest Service Packs 
installed for whatever version of Client Access they are running.
3) If possible, update the PC Clients to iSeries Access V5R2 with latest 
Service Pack.

HELP!

 

I have a client and their iSeries access data transfer quit working today 
(it was working this morning but now its not.)   The error I am getting 
is: CWBDB0058 Unable to start database server due to communications error. 
 

 

Their system was upgraded to V5R2 last week but they have done transfers 
since.  I've gone through STRPJ on QZDAINIT now in library QSYS (says itâs 
already started).   I've done a STRHOSTSVR *ALL and Iâve run CWBPING which 
gives me a CWBCO1008 - Unable to connect to server application Data 
Access, Returned 8006.   I also got the same thing on application Network 
Print.  I ended the PJ and restarted it and even had the luxury of being 
able to IPL the system (No comments please)   I get the same error on all 
PCâs that attempt an iseries access transfer.   I canât find any error 
messages via the green screen side.  iSeries Navigator says the database 
server is running, Iâm not seeing any other error messages and everything 
else seems to be working.

 

I know I can use FTP to get these files to the iSeries please do not 
suggest that as a way around this.  I want to fix what is broken first, 
and if I can not then I will go the FTP route.  I did a slow search (they 
have a painfully slow internet connection) for PTFâs but did not find 
anything.

 

Iâll be away from this email address tomorrow but be checking responses 
via the painfully slow web.   All help is greatly appreciated!
