[WDSCI-L] EVFC1020W Error

["John Taylor" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have an oddball error here with one particular AS/400 that I access using
WDSC 4.0. Whenever I attempt to expand a member list within the Remote
Systems Explorer, I receive the following error message:

----------------------------
EVFC1020W - Required host servers are not started.

The RSE communications server requires the OS/400 host servers be started to
function properly.  One or more of the required host servers are not started
which may cause unpredictable results.  Use the "Verify Connection" action
to see which hosts servers are not started.  To start the host servers run
the following two commands:  STRHOSTSVR *ALL and STRTCPSVR *DDM
----------------------------

I then click "Ok" on the error message, and RSE continues normally -
displaying my members.

When I run the "Verify Connection" option is OpsNav, all host servers are
alive. If I try to STRTCPSVR *DDM, the system tells me it's already running.
I get the same error from two different PC's; one local, and the other a
remote internet connection. And the error only occurs with one of three
different iSeries machines which I routinely use, so I suspect some type of
configuration issue, but I don't know where to begin looking.

Has anyone else run across this problem?


Regards,

John Taylor
