Moving the iSeries Operations Console

[CessnaDriver]

Hi all!

I am getting my new PC up and running and one of the last tasks before killing off my old computer is transferring the console over to the new PC.

I installed Client Access and configured the Iseries console to use QCONSOLE2 just like the old.

Apparently there is a password that the client and the AS/400 use to authorize each other that changes each time and must be in sync.

I went into service tools, I go into option 8 Work with service tools user IDs and Devices.

I try to take option 2 Service tools device IDs but get the following message: "The user can not perform the option selected"

Ok, no problem, I go to here to look up the solution:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzajr/rzajrmanagepasswords.htm

It says to go into service tools and change an option under FLIGHTLOG. I have followed these instructions to the letter several times and it does not work.

I get this when I try it:

Start DST Security function

Security operation not performed.

I've tried this using QSECOFR and QSRV and neither work. I have checked my job log and DSPLOG and there's no information at all.


sigh!

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Ok... well five minutes after posting that, I decided to get brave and proceed to the instructions to reset the AS/400 console password using the control panel on the AS/400.

I am happy to report that it worked!

I still don't understand why I couldn't do it in SST.

I was just going to suggest that you go through the control panel and reset it. I know that works and have used it several times.

Glad things works out.

I had the same issue with the SST reset thing. Just couldn't get it to work.

Yeah, so weird. It looks like the FLIGHTLOG change has been around since at least V5R3. I Googled it and even found it in a couple of third party AS/400 books. It just won't work here for some reason.
