RE: FTP Issue

Mike,

A few years ago I messed up my TCP/IP exit points by restoring QUSRSYS from a 
V4R3 machine to a V5R1 machine. Among other things, my FTP server would no 
longer start. After reinstalling QUSRSYS from CD, IBM had me run a program to 
reset all the TCP/IP exit points. This fixed the problem. 

The command was CALL QTCP/QTMFEXIT PARM('*INSTALL  ') and the two trailing 
spaces in the parm were required.

Note: I would only do something potentially disasterous as this on IBM's 
instructions. You should definitely call IBM Support. Just because it worked 
for me several releases ago in my situation does not mean it is appropriate for 
you at this time. (I see that the program still exists on our V5R3 box.)

If you Google for QTMFEXIT you will find some other hits, even in midrange.com 
archives.

Be careful.

subject: FTP Issue

I have been trying to FTP this morning from our Development Machine to
our Production Machine(to promote a program to production).   No luck.
I tried to stop and restart the FTP server.  I found that when I tried
restarting the FTP server, I got the following message in QSYSOPR----
'FTP server initialization failure'.  When I display the job log
associated with this, I discovered. This. 
Message . . . . :   Exception CPF3CDB occurred when trying to get
information  
  for exit point QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ with format name VLRQ0100.

Cause . . . . . :   The QusRetrieveExitInformation API returned an
exception   
  when attempting to obtain information for exit point
QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ.   
  Recovery  . . . :   Check the job log or the system operator log for
other   
  messages. Correct any errors indicated.  Start the FTP program again.


I then went ot WRKREGINF and could not find this exit point.  It is
however on our production machine.  

FTP has worked up until the last couple of days.  

Any ideas why this would be missing.  How to get it back?

Thanks
