Re: Record Access connection failing - how to diagnose

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the link, Kevin - looked at some of the points to examine-

DDM server is started on IBM i
There don't appear to be any firewall issues locally
Should be no authority issues with server program - QRWTLSTN is the 
program it is listening with - *PUBLIC had *USE
Job description is QDFTJOBD - it does exist

When I try the "Verify connection", and get the message that connection 
to record access fails, I ran

netstat -a -n | find "my ip address"

I see that port 446 is in TIME WAIT

I just tried to connect again - Port 446 is in TIME WAIT on the IBM i, 
too. Ports 8473 and 8475 show as established.

OK, later
Vern

So that's where it's at now.
