Checking the Telnet job log

When Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) initialization and handshake fails, the Telnet server sends CPDBC nn diagnostic messages to the QTVTELNET job.

To check the Telnet server job log, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your system > Network > TCP/IP Configuration > IPv4.

2. Click Connections.

3. Right-click the IP address of the client workstation that is failing and select Jobs. Note the job name.

4. Expand Job Management > Server Jobs.

5. Right-click QTVTELNET in the Job name column.

6. Select Job Log.

7. Look for the CPDBC nn message in the Message ID column.

Here are some things to remember about the Telnet server jobs:

• Only one QTVTELNET job starts when the SSL listener fails to initialize.

• QTVDEVICE and QTVTELNET jobs start when the Telnet server starts after the system restarts.

• The same number of QTVTELNET and QTVDEVICE jobs start when the Telnet server starts an SSL listener.

• The ENDTCPSVR *TELNET or ENDTCP command ends QTVTELNET jobs.

• When the QSYSWRK subsystem ends, the QTVDEVICE jobs end.
