We have a very strange & annoying problem with our iSeries box and the LANSA / Notes R6 integration.
Basically before we upgraded the domino server to R6, the nightly LANSA contract extract program was working fine, however, after upgrading to R6 a few weeks ago, the program has stopped working.
The part of the code that seems to be failing is the LANSA builtin fuction to run an agent (DOM_EXECUTE_AGENT) - it runs this line, calls the agent, then returns to the program instantly with no errors on the AS400 OR in the Domino logs!
After a bit of delving around, we have found that the problem seems to be when the agent we are calling is trying to open another database on the same server.
The agent works fine if we schedule it on the server, so no problems with the agent itself, just seems to be when calling it from LANSA.
Any ideas anyone???

Did you contact LANSA and see if there are certain fixes you need to apply in order to support ND6?

Hi
Yes - We have contacted them, but they are not aware of any current ND6 / LANSA problems, but they are looking into it to check, so we shal have to see…
The interesting thing is other LANSA / Notes programs on the same box still work OK…although i think this is the only program that calls an agent that opens another database (all the rest just call agents that do stuff within the same DB, this one links 2 db’s together!)
Any ideas ? ? ? ? ?

Did you get this issue resolved? Is the name of the Domino server that the LANSA function runs on different than the name of your iSeries machine?

Nope - we still got the problem!
I am not too sure about what you mean, The Domino Server that we are using is a different name & IP address to the main AS400 name.
I.E. Notes Server = NOTES, IP = 1.1.1.1
AS400 = AS400, IP = 1.1.1.20
We are running it as a partitioned(??) server i think (as have 2 domino servers on the same iseries box!)

Try adding the Domino server name and IP address to the AS400 host table entries. e.g. AS400 command: CFGTCP; option 10; add host name NOTES and internet address 1.1.1.1 to the table.

Good suggestion - sadly the entry is already there!!!
