goal

fact

NetWare for SAA

Formerly document SAA3194

symptom

When a customer is running FTP, the "PWS0008" error message is issued on the AS/400. This message states that the AS/400 database server cannot run because the fetch is only supported through the QSERVER subsystem.

fix

The customer has applied all NetWare and NetWare for SAA maintenance and gets "PWS0008" or "CWBDB0053" errors when running FTP.

Run a global trace, and format it.
Search on QSERVER.
If QSERVER is found in the trace, then NetWare for SAA is working correctly and the appropriate maintenance is applied.
If QSERVER is not in the trace, then recheck the server side and client side maintenance.
If one of the above messages appears when NWSAA is sending QSERVER, then it is a mode description problem at the AS/400.

Note: QCMN must be a subsystem, and QSERVER must be a "defined" subsystem.

The customer can also check to make sure QZDASOINIT and QPWFSERVSO are up by performing a WRKSBS at an AS/400 command line:

Find QSERVER - (use option 8 - work with subsystem jobs) to make sure the above two PJ's (prestart jobs) are running.
If PJ's are not running, enter STRHOSTSVR at the AS/400 command line.
If PJ's are still not up, call the AS/400 Client Access Support to edit the prestart job entries.
