RE: net.data error Incorrect symbol (looking at DB2WWW)

Mike,

This is a WAG, but I took a look at our box.

We've never used Net.Data 

We have:
Object      Library     Attribute  size  created
DB2WWW      QHTTPSVR    CPPLE     61440  3-21-06  v5r4
DB2WWW      QSYSCGI     CPPLE     61440  7-2-06   v5r4
DB2WWW      QTCP                  61440  12-10-00  v5r1

Not that 7-2-06 was when the v5r4 upgrade was install, I also noticed
that the copy in QSYSCGI was created by the QLPINSTALL profile.


My vote would be the one in QHTTPSVR also.  But it looks like the one is
QSYSCGI is a copy.

HTH,
Charles

Thanks for the reminder, I had forgot about this being the recommended
procedure.
 
I currently have 4 DB2WWW *PGM objects on my system
 
CGI Library (our own and the one the Apache map directive points to)
created 01/14/05 V5R2M0 size 53248 
QTCP created 12/06/00 V5R1M0 size 61440
QSYSCGI created 06/10/05 V5R3M0 size 57344
QHTTPSVR created 12/05/03 V5R3M0 size 57344
 
Any idea as to which one is the correct one that is patched 
as PTFs are
applied? I would guess it's the QHTTPSVR one. We clearly appear to be
using an out of date version.

It is common to make a copy of the IBM program DB2WWW in one of your
own
libraries.  Chances are that if you upgraded or applied PTFs you need
to
replace this copy of the program with the IBM version again.

We get that error occasionally, and it's pretty tough to diagnose
exactly what is going wrong.  We find that if we make a simple change
to
the macro (add a few blank spaces somewhere) and save the file, it
usually takes care of the problem.

I think (and I'm just guessing here) that there is probably a problem
with the tokenized macro in the macro cache.  Changing the last
modified
date/time will force the db2www cgi program to reread and re-tokenize
the macro.

Like I said, that's just a guess as to why this works, but regardless,
it generally solves the issue.

a constant error. The errors will start at random times and then go

error in one of the includes (add an extra @) and then 

taking it away

again. No errors in any logs (that we can find). Anyone else come 
across this error before?
