RE: WRKSRVTBLE vs NETSTAT -- MIDRANGE-L

Check the alias(5 to display) to verify AS-STS in Caps.  The default for
alias on ADDSRVTBLE is *NONE.  I don't believe that the host table names are
case sensitive.  

I feel your pain on having to restart TCP/IP for this, it's a poor
implementation.  I was fortunate that I only had to do this once on a system
in production at the time.  (Twice on non-prod systems, never figured out
why IBM didn't make this entry show up automagically....)  If I was in your
shoes I would delete the current entry, then ADDSRVTBLE SERVICE('as-sts')
PORT(3000) PROTOCOL('tcp') TEXT('Service Tools Server') ALIAS('AS-STS') and
wait until your next IPL to use the function.  (BTW, also verify that no
other service is using port 3000.)

I'm not exactly sure what the function of the service table is.  You can
toggle between names and ports with NETSTAT *CNN F14.  The servers that
start when TCP/IP starts are listed in the QATOCSTART file.  (The service
table is QATOCPS)   I would guess that restarting one specific server(maybe
*MGTC?) would catch this but all documentation says to restart TCP/IP.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, good luck!

Checked the case:
WRKSRVTBLE
Service                                  Port  Protocol
as-sts                                   3000  tcp 

CFGTCP
12. Change TCP/IP domain information
Host name  . . . . . . . . . . .   'GDIHQ' 
Domain name  . . . . . . . . . .   'dekko-1'
10. Work with TCP/IP host table entries
Internet         Host
Address          Name
10.10.1.211      GDIHQ 
                 GDIHQ.GDI1.SNA.IBM.COM
                 QGDIHQ 
                 GDIHQ.DEKKO-1
I just changed it to:
10.10.1.211      GDIHQ 
                 GDIHQ.GDI1.SNA.IBM.COM
                 QGDIHQ 
                 GDIHQ.dekko-1
But have not recycled TCP/IP.  Since that didn't seem to do squat on our 
test iSeries I was loathe to kick everyone off to do this, when testing 
shows a low probability of success.
