Manual InterForm400 English 2023

If you already have a system running mirroring, you can verify, that the destination system is not missing some specific objects:

 

Check the data queues on the remote machine

One thing I have seen on at least one mirrored setup was, that somone had forgot to link data queues with the output queues on the remote machine. That meant, that Auto_Form would not react to any new spooled files. If possible you can check if these data queues exist, and if they are added to all the output queues, that are monitored by InterForm400.

 

The data queues are named the same as the output queue, that they are used for and placed in the same library. Via the command, WRKOUTQD you can check if a data queue is connected to the specific output queue:

 

                     Work with Output Queue Description    

                                                           

Queue:   PRT01_IN       Library:   QUSRSYS

Data queue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   PRT01_IN        

 Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     QUSRSYS    

 

If there is no data queue attached you can create and add it either via the InterForm400 menu simply by selecting ‘5. Work with Auto Forms Control’, ‘1. Functions attached to Output Queues’ and then editing the output queue with option 2=Change or you can add it via CHGOUTQ of course.

 

Check if the data area, APF3812/APFCONFIG exists on the destination machine

On older, mirrored versions of InterForm400 (pre-2008 versions),  this object should be excluded for mirroring as this object contains the license code and should be different on the two machines. This object should of course exist anyway on both machines.

 

Check other objects outside the APF3812 library

Other objects outside of the APF3812 library should also exist on the destination machine. They include the directories: APF3812Mail and APF3812Home and also the user profiles:

 

AFCOPER

APFUSRPRF

MAILINTER

OSCOWNER
