Verify Service Configuration Enhancements

Troubleshooting


Problem

This document includes a description of enhancements available for the VFYSRVCFG command available starting at R710.

Resolving The Problem

Starting at R710, the VFYSRVCFG command has been enhanced to allow additional testing options. 

Service types available
 
o *ECS - ECS/ESA problem reporting connection verified.
o *ECC - ECC gateway connection verified.
o *FIXREP - Fix Repository connection verified.
o *PRBRPT - Problem reporting connection verified.
o *SPCFG - Service provider configuration file connection verified.
o *SRVAGT - ESA service information transmission connection verified.
o Character-value specifying a specific or partial service destination.

NOTE: *ECC value no longer available starting at V7R2M0

Valid values are anything enclosed by a <Service-Destination> tag in the serviceProviderIBM.xml serviceProviderIBMLocationDefinition.txt file in the “Destination” column. To view these files, issue the WRKLNK '/qibm/userdata/os400/universalconnection' command. Either a specific or partial value can be used.

"Fix_Repository” would match all Service Destinations containing that string – Fix_Repository_1, Fix_Repository_2, Fix_Repository_3, and so on.
“Fix_Repository_21” would only match Fix_Repository_21

Verify option
 
o *FIRST - The command will report verification information for the first successful connection to a service.
o *ALL - The command will report verification information for all attempted connections to a service.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

On V7R3 and higher releases Edge server is used. Edge is a new ECC server environment (esupport.ibm.com) that provides a front-end proxy to the current ECC infrastructure. Additional information could be found at Electronic Service Agent (ESA) and Electronic Customer Support (ECS) VPN and HTTP Firewall Settings document.
On V7R2, Edge could be also used but require manual configuration. Information on document as well.

To use VFYSRVCFG commands with EDGE server, PTF SI64488 should be applied.
