Re: Trouble connecting to iSeries from Remote Systems view

Dawn,

>From the messages you are seeing it sounds like you have the "Run RSE
Communications Server on remote system" preference turned on and may not
have the required PTFs installed on the iSeries (or system requirements
like JRE) to do this.  Go to the Preferences page in WDSc (Window >
Preferences), then select the Remote Systems > iSeries preference page and
de-select the "Run RSE Communications Server on remote system" checkbox and
try to connect again.

Background info:  The iSeries RSE communications server can be run inside
the workbench or on the remote system.  If it is run inside the workbench
then it communicates with the iSeries using the standard OS/400 host
servers (Remote command, DDM, data queue, file server).  If you run the
iSeries RSE communications server on the remote system then you need to
install the latest RSE PTF on the iSeries and the 1.3.1 JRE (use the verify
connection action for iSeries objects to see latest PTF info).  Generally
speaking it is easier to configure and run the RSE communications server
inside the workbench.  This is the default for the preference.

Hope this helps.
