R3load testconnection fails during sapinst import

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are performing a SolMan system copy from one IBM system i to another.

We chose to do it using "heterogenous" approach.

During import, the "R3load -testconnect" phase fails.

R3load.exe.log file is generated but it is empty.

there is a stub file tmksvrstub_5276 that says:

#################################################################

Attaching also some other files.

Any idea what could be causing this?

I cannot log in as <sid>adm to check whether "R3load -testconnect" works that way, or is there a way?

(I am not that familiar with system i...)

Thanks a lot for your help here.

BR,

Samuli

Hello Samuli,

isn't there a file similar to ?

R3load.exe.log

... this should contain the problem ...

BUT:

Why do you do a heterogenious systemcopy and not a homogenious systemcopy with savlib & r3stlib & SDM export ? In my eyes, that would be a lot easier for you ...

but you are correct: both should work ...

Hi Volker,

R3load.exe.log file is empty (size=0) so I assume R3load does not even start.

I tried to start R3load from qsh prompt, error message is

"qsh: 001-0078 Process ended by signal 5".

Comparison: R3trans works (gives an error message about unicode libraries, but thats because my installation user SAPIUSER has no correct environment)

In this installation phase, I can not log on as <sid>adm to see if R3load -testconnect works that way.

(i series logon screen says "CPF1118 No password associated with user XXXADM").

I also tried with newer version of R3load, with same results.

It is like, R3load itself is not OK.

I chose to go with heterogenous approach, because I am more familiar with this procedure.

BR,

Samuli

Hello Samuli,

ok, then there is not that file R3load.exe.log ;-(

yes, but you need to logon with a proper user !

sidofr is typically used and sometimes sidadm might be used ...

I would suggest SIDOFR ...

Hi,

Both SIDADM and SIDOFR are not available for login: "CPF1118 No password associated with user SIDOFR".

I guess this is normal behaviour in this stage.

The installation itself is done in user context of SAPIUSER.

BR,

Samuli
