When trying to connect to the I-Series access software, receive error "unable to connect to data base server due to communications error 6060"

Took down this proposed solution:

• Get the Session name
• Use the wrksbs command
• Locate Qinter
• Use 8
• Key in 4
• Press F4
• Change to *immed
• Try to reconnect

Turns out, the help text following the error CWBDB0058 listed above mentioned the following point number 4 in "Recovery"

• key in STRHOSTSVR command
• followed by the *DATABASE selection

After discussing this item with our resident '400 guru, he tells me that "*ALL" would have been fine since it won't start services that are already running. He also mentions this command should be present in the startup command file of the '400 and should have been running already.

He also mentioned using the NETSTAT command followed by option menu 3 .. then look for AS-something (avgdata or signon? .. files) .. these are part of the Client Access Host Server. If no one can connect using Client Access, this area might prove helpful.

Either way, the file transfer was broke and now it's fine :)

by the way, the file transfer produced this informational message a few times before the transfer program recognized the data properly: CWBTF0004 - No data was matched to the specified options.
