Chris, The first thing to look at is the error you are getting - error 90.
This error is a connectivity error. It is returned whenever the caller of the API cannot establish a connection to the remote environment. You have spoken about logs and such but this error indicates to me that there was never a TCP connection made to the server and no traffic or interaction from this client to the server. So, you should not see any API call or interaction or even the existence of this client showing up in any log on the server. If things are showing up in the logs, then we have a different discussion as that means that it IS establishing connection and then is losing it (or trying to connect to yet another server which it cannot connect to). n So, just to check.... You are not including the server name of the server to reference in the macro you are running and that server name is not a legal server? are you? n Also, if you run driver (or some other API program) and reference the same server and same port (if you are qualifying the port), do you get the same error or does it connect? For example is there a DNS problem on the machine so it cannot resolve the name you are using... It is not related to libraries - the code is running just fine. A lot of the other possibilities mentioned would occur AFTER connectivity was established. For example, you have to be talking to the server to get the message that the protocol version is not legal so you would get an error indicating that NOT an error that says you cannot connect to the server. Now, the secondary part of the error message "RPD: Miscellaneous tli error - event requires attention Permission denied" (everything after the colon) is the error received from the OS as the API was attempting to establish contact with the server. This is the error that comes back from the failure to set up the TCP connection. If not using specific ports, the system uses UDP to call portmapper to get the port the server is running on and then uses TCP to connect to that server. Either one of these failing will cause the connection to fail. If using a specific TCP port, the UDP step to call portmapper is not used. So, if driver cannot connect either, find the port that the server is running on and run driver and specify that port and see if it can connect. If so, you have isolated the issue to portmapper. If still not, then you still don't know why it is failing. Of course if driver connects and runmacro still has trouble, then I don't know what to think other than the macro itself referencing a server other than the current one. Anyway, hopefully some information that can help narrow and focus your investigation.

I have been fighting a runmacro issue on version 7.6.04 for almost a month now. I have tried every trick I can think of. I keep getting the following error every time I try and execute a runmacro command. Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System server - <REMOVED> : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - event requires attention Permission denied [ARERR 90] We added: export SHLIB_PATH=/appl/Remedy/bin and export NLSPATH=/appl/Remedy/locale/C to our .profile We made sure that the Symbolic Link for runmacro.cat in /usr/lib/nls/msg/C/ is pointing to the correct directory We ran the locale command and all looks good And still none of these made a difference Is there any other path I need to set on my .profile or copy the runmacro.cat file to? This is very frustrating, the runmacro worked just fine before we upgraded, however, when we upgraded from 7.1 to 7.6.04 it just stopped working.
