SUMMARY:
If a Windows client connects to an AS/400 database with Lan Fast
Path (LFP), logs similar to the following are written in the log file
of the schema holder.
Wed Dec 29 12:12:58 1993
| Single-user session begin for on MS WINDOWS. (451)
| Proserver Active
| Connecting to Server Job : PROSRVER /SMITH /014685
| Mointor job = PCTECH22 /SMITH /014676
1 --| Monitor Queue = MONQ014676/PROTMP
| serverId = 3 FrameSize = 1994
| Host-supplied MAC Address = 40 00 00 00 06 66
| LclSAP = 0x24, StationId = 0x0200
2 --| Client and server are at AS/400 major revision level 3.
| Client is at minor level 10; server is at minor level 9.
The first section (1) of the log file is returned by the AS/400
Server Monitor with SNA . The second section (2) is returned by the
PROGRESS Server with LFP.
If the Windows client fails to connect successfully to the AS/400
database, you can determine when and where the connection fails by
looking for missing lines in the log file.
If all or part of the first section of the log is missing, the AS/400
configuration is most probably incorrect or incomplete. Try to
connect to the AS/400 database with SNA. If the SNA connection is not
successful, check the configuration of the line, controller, device
and mode. For more information, see the "PROGRESS AS/400 Server Guide"
and the IBM communication manuals or contact your System
Administrator. If the SNA connection is successful, check the
following:
* The connection parameters. Execute DSPNETA. The host name in the
Host (-H) connection parameter should be LCLLOCNAME. The password
in the Password (-P) parameter should be the same as the password
used to start PC Support. The following is an example of a connect
statement:
Connect schemaholder -is -1
Connect dbname -Sn prolfpl.progress -H host -N as400lfp -P password
* The PROSETSRV command. This command should have run to initialize
the PROTMP library used for inter-process communication between the
Server Monitor, Server Manager, and PROGRESS Server.
NOTE: The log file can reach section 2 even if the Program Temporary
Fix (PTFs) are not installed properly since no communication has
taken place via LFP.
If the second section of the log is missing, the LFP connection is
not successful. Check the following:
* The Token Ring or Ethernet line is active (not "Pending").
* The Server Manager is running (WRKACTJOB).
* LFPWIN TSR is loaded into memory.
* The PTFs are installed correctly for the appropriate AS/400 OS level
and Progress Software product and/or version.
* AS/400 is IPLed from side B.
* The PC and AS/400 are on the same LAN (or bridged rings) using the
LFP utility. There are valid configurations which support SNA
(for example, Netware for SAA or PC Support APPN routing) that
DO NOT support LFP.
