Re: Run a .dtf from CLP

I have this service running on the PC:

C:\WINDOWS\CWBRXD.EXE

When I change the CLP to execute RUNRMTCMD, ir appears to run but there
is no file created, and no errors noted.
Thanks for your patience.

If you want to send remote commands from a batch job, try RUNRMTCMD.

However, you'll have to either know ahead of time, or run a program to
determine the name/ip address of the PC to send the command to.

Also, you need to turn on the "iSeries Access Remote Command" windows
service on the PC.

The STRPCCMD sends a specially formatted screen to the emulator to tell it to run a particular command.

So why would you think this would work in batch? Obviously it can't given its dependence on a 5250 session.

Hi Don

When I used to run these in batch files I used to use the RTOPCB command (not sure if that dates me or not...) Don't know if that's still current or there is a new command.

To be honest, I wouldn't have expected that batch file to work at

all.

Double clicking on a file with a file association might run the associated programs but I didn't think that extended to running them in batch. But it wouldn't be the first time that windows has

surprised me.

Is the .dtf file really in the root ?

Evan Harris

cwblogon 192.168.0.9 /u DCA /p xxxx
c:\qkeep3.dtf

Above is the content of the .bat file. This runs fine when I run it straight from the PC side.

Hi Don

Pipe the batch file output to a log file so you can see what the batch file is doing. For example:
RUNRMTCMD CMD('START C:\QKEEP3.BAT > C:\QKEEP3.LOG') RMTLOCNAME('192.168.0.173' *IP) RMTUSER(DCAVAIANI) RMTPWD()

I have CWBRXD.EXE running on the PC, and the job lob shows the below message, yet there is no update to he file which the .dtf (in the .BAT
file) should be creating? NO error messages - job appears to end normally?

3200 - RUNRMTCMD CMD('START C:\QKEEP3.BAT')

RMTLOCNAME('192.168.0.173'

*IP) RMTUSER(DCAVAIANI) RMTPWD()

As others have mentioned, you have to have the "iSeries Access for Windows Remote Command" windows service running. Actually, any REXC client server will do.

Also, given that you're trying to perform a file transfer with, note that you'll have to place the transfer request in a .BAT file so that

you can use CWBLOGON command to log onto the iSeries before performing the transfer.

Cannot get past this error message:

" A remote host refused an attempted connect operation. " I tried all

the different options. Does a certain job need to be running (and kept
active) on the PC?

Also, do I need the CMD string to include C:\program

files\ibm\client access\cwbtf.exe ??
