Reset the NWSD configuration file parameter

You can set the Configuration file parameter of the NWSD to *NONE to prevent the changes that are causing errors from being made to the integrated server file. To prevent i5/OS from using your NWSD configuration file, follow these steps.

  1. On the i5/OS command line, type WRKNWSD to work with your network server descriptions (NWSD).
  2. On the line by the network server that is having problems, choose option 2 (Change).
  3. In the Configuration file field, select *NONE.
  4. Vary on the network server and see if the error has gone away.
Note:
Existing modifications to any files that are processed by a configuration file will remain unchanged. A .BKU file exists with the file contents before the last modification performed by varying on the server. This file can be used to replace the changed version or the file can be restored from a previous backup if one is available.
