Re: WDSC 6.0 through VPN and NAT router

Hi Steve,

Yes WDSc 6.0 is capable of this configuration, in V6.0 the debugger 
callback was removed to solve this very problem.  The only thing you won't 
be able to do is run the STRRSESVR command to associate an interactive 
emulator with an RSE connection.  In my opinion this isn't a big deal 
since you can just switch over to a 5250 emulator to test your 5250 
applications.  Especially with the Service Entry Points (SEP) breakpoints; 
if you want to debug an interactive application just set the SEP on your 
program / service program you want to debug first then switch to the 
emulator and call your program like you normally would.

Now, to figure out why you get the "Required host servers are not started" 
message : )  I'm assuming you get this when you try to connect.  Does 
everything still seem to work or nothing works at all?  At the top of the 
verify connection dialog, does it show all the host servers as being 
started?  (If it does then we can rule out a firewall issue.)

[WDSCI-L] WDSC 6.0 through VPN and NAT router






Hello,

We are having problems getting WDSC 6.0 to run behind a NAT router and
VPN.  Is version 6.0 capable of this type of configuration?  The error
message we get is "Required host servers are not started."  When I
verify the connection, the callback to debug and RSE daemon failed.  All
other options via verify are successful except Remote System Explorer
has a product missing.  I will use the product updater to fix that.

Thank you,
