Re: IBM System i Access Emulator Troubles

Sometimes the error message is a bit bogus to what is really happening.

Change the communication configuration ... try a different algorithm there.
Check SYSVAL on # of virtual connections you can have ... maybe some other
user hit the ceiling ... try increasing the ceiling.

When we lose connections, we often change workstation communication
configuration to get another session. This creates a mountain of formerly
used sessions that maybe ought to get deleted. WRKCFGSTS *DEV then whatever
naming associated with that work station.

You can dump device history to an *OUTFILE then query to see how recently
used ... maybe some other user has hit on same config id as problem
connection.

Do you have any relevant error messages in places like.
DSPMSG QSYSMSG or
DSPMSG QCFGMSGQ
WRKPRB

Check the physical connections ... maybe a flakey loose frayed cable.

On my company laptop, I have to have some cables going in "just so", or it
don't work. On other company PC's if user accidentally kicks back of desk,
it can cause a cable to come loose.

Depending on how the PC connects (e.g. VPN) check that the PC is connecting
to other stuff it supposed to connect to. For example, if not talking to
Internet, then probably not talking to VPN either.

Run standard PC housekeeping, in case spyware or some such conflict.

I ran that command. For Product 5722XW1, Feature 5101, Release
V5R4M0, the Expiration Date is *NONE. I also did DSPLICKEY
PRDID(5722XW1) LICTRM(*ALL) FEATURE(5101) to tell me that Usage
Limit is *NOMAX.

We've tried uninstalling/reinstalling iSeries Access from his PC
using the CD that was shipped with the V5R4 upgrade, twice. I've
given him my *.WS connection file to use.

iSeries Navigator works fine. He is also the only person to have
this problem, everyone else using the emulator can connect just fine,
AFAIK. The last time the emulator was working for him was before
Christmas. The only change to the system in between now and then
was adding more storage to the system.

OT: I don't know what the Queen thinks about "Googling", but I know Google
is not happy with their name being used as a verb because it "waters
down" their trademark, similar to what has happened with Kleenex and
Band-Aid.

Thank you for your help.

Googling (is that a word? What will the Queen think?) the error message
brought up several possibilities. The most common one seemed to be an
expired license key on the System i (licenses are not installed on the

PC),

and some kind of mismatch between the client-side emulator and the
server-side base product. You can check your key expirations using CALL
PGM(QSFWINV) PARM(*PRINT). It does not, however, tell you how many

licenses

you have, only the status.

Subject: IBM System i Access Emulator Troubles

(my apologies about the earlier incomplete message, I accidentally hit

the

hot key that sends the message in GMail.)

My coworker is having issues with the Emulator that comes with System
i/iSeries Access for Windows. He's getting the following error when
attempting to signon to our system: "CWBLM0031 - Failure, a data

conversion

error was returned by the host server rc=1 rc=2".

This point to a page that talks about running out of licenses:

http://www-

6686256e99004cf945?OpenDocument

I've never had to do anything with licenses for iSeries Access when I
installed it on a PC. I updated the licenses for the product on the

system

when we upgraded to V5R4M0 (which has a Usage Limit of *NOMAX).

Has anyone encountered this problem before, or know how to fix it?

Thanks,
