Learn how to tell if the required communication path is active, and how to start it if necessary.
EZ-Setup and iSeries™ Navigator may connect to the signon, central, and remote command and distributed program call servers without a communication protocol running on the iSeries server. That is, EZ-Setup may connect before STRTCP has been run. The path used permits EZ-Setup to perform some initial iSeries setup before configuring or starting any communication protocols. This topic describes how to determine if the communication path used by EZ-Setup and Operations Console is active and how to restart it if necessary.
For information on configuring the connection that is used by EZ-Setup consult the EZ-Setup online help.
The communication path used by EZ-Setup requires three jobs, QNEOSOEM, to be running in the QSYSWRK subsystem. The QSYSWRK subsystem has an autostart job for this communication path. The autostart job, QNEOSOEM, submits two other jobs with the name of QNEOSOEM in the QSYSWRK subsystem. If one of the jobs is not active, start it by issuing the following command:
QSYS/SBMJOB CMD(QSYS/CALL PGM(QSYS/QNEOSOEM)) JOB(QNEOSOEM) JOBD(QSYS/QNEOJOBD) JOBQ(QSYS/QSYSNOMAX) PRTDEV(*JOBD) OUTQ(*JOBD) USER(*JOBD) PRTTXT(*JOBD) SYSLIBL(*SYSVAL) INLLIBL(*JOBD) LOGCLPGM(*YES) MSGQ(*NONE) SRTSEQ(*SYSVAL) LANGID(*SYSVAL) CNTRYID(*SYSVAL) CCSID(*SYSVAL)
The command will start all three QNEOSOEM jobs if necessary.
