Hi Bryan
Tried what, if it doesn't sound (too) stupid of me? I installed the
iSeriesODBC-5.1.0-0.14.i386.rpm file but the binaries it provides don't
appear to be related to any 5250 I'm familiar with. The cwbping utility
worked fine against the Netshare400.com box, but I can't find any 5250
references other than in the page you quoted above.
If it's the cwbcopwr program, what magic is required to invoke it?
$ /opt/ibm/iSeriesODBC/bin/cwbping netshare
finds the netshare box (defined in /etc/hosts) but
$ /opt/ibm/iSeriesODBC/bin/cwbcopwr /SYS:netshare /SVC:8
results in
*ERROR* System named does not exist, no changes can be made.
and if I drop the /SVC:8 (signon request aiui) I get this
umm, something was messed up on the command line, try again
Any pointers gratefully received
I'll probably give the iSeries Access for Web beta a try at work this
week, if I get the chance.
Regards, Martin
