Error CWBCO1049 on AS/400

Connecting the iSeries in AS/400, issue STRHOSTSVR *ALL. Make sure the as-signon port is in listen state and check the firewall settings.

While trying to connect the iSeries through 5250, I recieved the following error message:

CWBCO1049 - The iSeries server application is not started.

However, when I tried connecting to the Console from the server, I was able to connect as normal. I have v5r3 and have recently applied 8267 CUM PTF's, and I was able to connect after applyng these, until this issue. The ETHERNET lines appear fine as well.

Could the PTF has anything to do with this? Have I checked all the TCP connections?

There are two possible causes:

1.) The iSeries server application has indeed not started. Issue STRHOSTSVR *ALL. Make sure the as-signon port is in listen state:

* Netstat
* Option 3
* as-signon should be in listen state

2.) A firewall on the PC does not allow iSeries connections, see www-01.ibm.com/support.

Tracking remote access users on System i As remote access through FTP or iSeries Access becomes the standard, the system history log and exit point solutions are two options for tracking users on the AS/400.

Users not recognized on iSeries when logged in from Windows 2000 The iSeries Navigator properties control how Windows logs into the Windows server. If the user in Windows is not known to the iSeries (i.e does not exist ) you get an error. Change the properties in iSeries Navigator to use another form of user signon can fix the problem and make Windows recognize the user.

Online support for i5 (OS/400) PTF's Andrew Borts recently ran into a problem with one of his iSeries systems while trying to get PTF's from home. He discovered that it was best to get rid of the modem in order to achieve a much faster download. In this tip, Andrew walks you through the process -- step by step.

Working with ODBC and dates One Search400.com member writes, "I use Business Objects and Viewpoint to access DB2/400 via ODBC. Since the new year some PTF's were applied (I don't know which ones) and now any SQL that converts strings to dates fails. The iSeries is managed elsewhere and they claim there is no problem because it works using DB2 connect and Operations Navigator. I had always thought these products used APPC not ODBC. Is this correct?" PC/Windows connectivity expert Shahar Mor responds.
