Unable to connect for record level access (cross posted)

Cross posting, as it may be an issue with configuration rather than an
issue with Java.



I'm in need of assistance. We've had this piece of code working for 10+
years. All of a sudden this command is failing. From I can gather 5 is
Record level access. Can anyone point us in the right direction. We are
getting this error. "ToPDF: Unable to connect for record level access."



AS400 as400 = new AS400();

try

{

as400.connectService(5);

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.err.println("ToPDF: Unable to connect for record level
access.");

System.exit(1);

}



Some background information.

We have a CL that copies a spool file to a file SPLCOPYPDF in QGPL. With a
new member name of P and QTIME system value.



We run this command. PASSWORD and OWNERPW are left blank. As I understand
that logging on is no longer required.

CLASSPATH is currently set
to /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/jt400/lib/jt400Native.jar:.



I have also tried to use the updated Java6 version.
/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/jt400/lib/java6/jt400Native.jar:.



We do not have the source code for the ToPDF class, however, I have used a
windows java debugger to see the code.



We are on V7R1, no PTFs have been applied lately. No security changes, no
network changes. I did see Windows had some updates, I uninstalled those
just to see. It did not help the situation.



Not sure how a network change would effect the process as we are connecting
to local host.
