Error with new VL14SP2 Install on PC

Post by atostaine »

When trying to initialize the partition during first step of connecting to IBM i, I get this error in IBM i joblog.

Message . . . . : Error found on CHKPWD command.
Cause . . . . . : The system detected errors in the command.
Recovery . . . : See the previously listed messages in the job log. Correct
the errors and then try the command again. *N instead of a command name
means that the name had not been determined before the error was found.

I have the same EPC's on PC as IBM i. There is no previous message. Any ideas what this might be?

Edit: I'm on V7R5. Also submitted an incident # 01096482

Hi Art,

IBM i 7.5 defaults for the CHKPWD command changed between IBM i 7.4 and 7.5.

7.4: ‘Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL)’
7.5: ‘Where allowed to run: Interactive environments (*INTERACT *IPGM *IREXX *EXEC)’

The LANSA connection jobs are jobs of type *BATCH.

We have a patch for this, but command below will solve this as well ;-)....

CHGCMD CMD(CHKPWD) ALLOW(*IREXX *IPGM *EXEC *INTERACT *BATCH)

Kind regards,
René

Yes lansa sent me the hotfix. This is way better though. I guess LPC doesn't read the IBM memo to users :D Thank you
