Troubleshooting: Running JDENET

Issue

Resolution

NETWORK dies immediately.

IPCs might not have been cleared before starting JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (that is, starting JDENET using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM i command STRNET). End JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (ENDNET). Clear IPCs (using the CLRIPC command) and restart JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

The startIPCKeyValue in the .INI file could be used by another version of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Try one of these:

  • Change the startIPCKeyValue and restart the software. This problem is not easily evident by examining the log files or reviewing error messages. Symptoms of the problem include:

  • You attempt to run more than one version of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on the IBM i.

  • One environment can be successfully started by itself. A second environment cannot be successfully started (that is, the JDENET_N job ends almost immediately after starting) for the second version.

  • Look in the jde_xxx and jdedebug_xxx log files for specific error messages.

  • Determine if the PORTTEST program runs correctly.

    If not, correct those problems, and then try restarting JD Edwards EnterpriseOne using STRNET.

  • The configuration for the local host name, local domain name, and IP address might be incorrect. In the command line, enter CFGTCP to access the Configure TCP/IP form. Select option 12 (Change local domain and host names) and verify the settings for the local domain name and the local host name (for example, YOURCOMPANY.COM and SRVR1 respectively). Then select option 10 (Work with TCP/IP host table entries) and verify that two names exist in connection with the IP address for the IBM i. One name is a combination of the local host name and the local domain name (for example, SRVR1.YOURCOMPANY.COM). The other name is just the local host name (for example, SRVR1).

  • Verify that the Relational Database Directory name is set up correctly. Use the WRKRDBDIRE command to verify that the name of the *LOCAL database is the same as the server. If they are different, refer to the IBM i Configuration guide to determine how to set this up correctly.

An error initializing the environment occurs in the log file.

  • Examine the issues in this section about the PORTTEST program.

  • Determine if the PORTTEST program runs correctly. If not, correct those problems, and then try restarting JD Edwards EnterpriseOne using STRNET.
