Message FPE0232 - User not connected to server

If you get this message, read the second level online help. Typically the problem is that there is not an authentication entry in the user profile for the specified server. To confirm this, look at the previous messages.

• If the previous diagnostic error is FPE0215, an authentication entry does not exist. You need to create an authentication entry.
• If the previous diagnostic error is FPE0234, an authentication entry exists, but the password in the authentication entry is *STRNTWCNN. This can happen if it is purposely set this way or if iSeries™ remains set to not store passwords in the authentication entry. To establish a connection, you can either:
  • Enable iSeries to automatically start authenticated connections by changing the QRETSVRSEC system value to save passwords. After doing this, you need to update the authentication entries with the correct password by using the WRKNTWAUTE command.
  • Manually start a connection and specify the password. This is only active for the current session.
