Re: What is "Record Access Service" ?

Jon,
I haven't fully researched this, but my guess is that Record Access Service
is the DDM server which is used for accessing source members. But you say
that you can read source members so I might be wrong.

That was my guess Buck - but this is a bank and so getting firewall ports
opened means a papal decree and evidence of why it is needed. Right now I
have no idea _why_ I need it (if indeed I do).

Working at a customer today and when we use the Verify Connection option

it shows an error that indicates that Record Access Service is not

My Verify shows a successful connection to Record Access Service. This
is interesting because we have the plain old RDi. No EGL, no business
developer, nothing but green screen stuff. Also, we have authorised
licences, not floaters so it's not trying to call home to authenticate
the RDi user.

So does anybody know what it is used for? And what server needs

starting? In all other cases RDi seems to tell you how to start the server
- but we can find zero information about this one.

Database? Port 8471/9471

I did a NETSTAT *CNN and looked for the typical IBM i services like
as-signon, as-netd, etc. As to what starts the service, I'm rather
thinking that a firewall is blocking the port.
