Diagnosing WebSphere problems To analyze problems running a WebSphere application, search400 expert Jim Mason says it is best to follow IBM support's first response: "Have you applied all the PTFs you need for: OS/400, the HTTP server, WebSphere and Java?" After you've checked and the answer is yes, here are the basic questions you need to ask. http://www.search400.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid3_gci800521,00.html 2. Can a Java program run on the 400 and access Domino? One user writes, "We have Lotus Domino running on an NT platform. We have WebSphere running on an iSeries 400 (V5R1). We want to write a program in Java, running on the iSeries 400 that can access the Domino database. Do I need an iSeries driver or an NT driver? In theory I need an iSeries driver, but Lotus doesn't seem to have any driver for the iSeries platform. Is there any sample code that you know of that can help?" Web development expert Jim Mason offers some advice. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid432349_tax285218,00.html 3.
