GOAL:
How to configure the registry or the .INI file for AS400 connectivity
GOAL:
DLL needed for APPC packages connectivity to AS400
FIX:
PROGRESS.INI must have the appropiate entry according to the APPC networking product used to connect to the AS/400 via SNA or LFP. If it is missing or wrong, you may receive errors such as:
The APPC communications subsystem is not loaded. (2444)
Error during initial receive from AS/400 (2492)
The entries must be in the [Startup] section of PROGRESS.INI and are:
AS400_APPCDllName=xxxxxxx
AS400_LFPDllName=xxxxxxxx
The LFP DLL is only needed if you are using Lan Fast Path. See chart below for explanation of which LFP DLL to use:
AS4LFP.DLL - for 16 bit client under Windows 3.1
AS4LFP16.DLL - for 16 bit client under Win 95 or Windows NT
AS4LFP32.DLL - for 32 bit client under Win 95 or Windows NT
For V8.1 clients or lower, use 1 of the following APPC names:
AS4PCS.DLL - for PC Support/400 or Client Access/400 DOS
AS4EHN.DLL - for Netsoft or Client Access/400 Windows
AS4RCPIC.DLL - for Rumba (with Wall Data patches applied)
AS4RMBA.DLL - for Rumba
AS4WCPIC.DLL - for Microsoft SNA Server
If you do not specify any DLL, it will default to AS4PCS.DLL.
For V8.2 (32 bit) clients, there are new 32 bit dll's that you will need to use for the APPC name. If you are going to use a 32 bit char client, this information needs to be inthe <WinChar Startup> section of the PROGRESS.INI file rather than in the <Startup> section.
AS4EHN32.DLL - for Netsoft/Client Access for Windows 95/NT
AS4WCP32.DLL - for Rumba 95/NT and Microsoft SNA Server
These 2 dll's require the 32-bit versions of the APPC router product.
The 32-bit character client cannot communicate using a 16-bit router.
