Hidden programs on XP

Tom,

Creating those lists is an excellent suggestion – and I will start on it today. Thank You!
Yes, my position is quite interesting. I am independed of 2 IT departments operating in our agency. I report to chief of my direct users. This is Copyright Office of the US, and it has its own IT dept called CTO. Than there is a main “most powerful” IT department (called ITS) overseeing all IT work in the Library of Congress where Copyright resides. The two are not always working in unison (to say the least)..
I am the first line of defense for my users (about 150). I do most hardware fixes myself (like “my CD drive is broken”, or my printer stopped working, or my computer equipment has to be moved and reconnected). Other problems I am to first diagnose and decide who can do the work: CTO or ITS. Our users use web-based application called Siebel “photoshopped” :) ) to do tasks needed by Copyright (it is a donkey with glued wings constantly trying to fly …) Siebel issues I send to CTO. All other such as : my system is slow, or I can not log in, or I need an access to share drive, or I have a blue screen of death, or I have problem with Adobe, or I can not open files (uploaded electronically from “customers” from all over the US or the rest of the world) – I diagnose first and decide whether I can help or whether I have to send a request to ITS.
The “supervisor” I talked about is actually CTO supervisor (not mine). In this W7 project, ITS created, together with CTO, these DCL packets, however, ITS is in charge of all of W7 work and will do the actual push. As you can see, I am sandwiched between the two, but report directly to somebody who is not part of any IT group and is not IT savvy. Anyhow this the scenario… and this project is starting and will go on until Feb. next year!

If you create any logs through the telnet entry points, you would extract from whatever you create. Without that, you can retrieve T/JS audit journal entries from QAUDJRN, the system audit journal.

Within each entry, the first character of the entry-specific data is an Entry Type; you’ll only want ones with ‘S’ that mark the start of a new job. And the second character will be for Job Type; you’ll only want ones with ‘I’ for interactive jobs. The job user will be in the ten bytes starting in position 14 of the entry-specific data.
.
When you have entries that have ‘S’ and ‘I’, you’ll have all interactive jobs that started. Since users can log on multiple times in one day, you’ll need to track all job users and eliminate duplicates.
.
And if your system isn’t tracking job starts in the audit journal, you might be able to pull all CPF1124 entries from the system history log files. You’ll have to process the entries to figure out which ones are for your telnet jobs and other information.

Please define “logged in”? To FTP? To DB2? To telnet? To Netserver? Some other server? Users can login to many different servers. — Tom

AS/400 (8203-E4A): no display
You should be communicating with IBM Support for actual procedures, and you should have a qualified technician on-site who knows these initial steps. Your general analysis procedures are started with Functions 14 – 19: SRC display (callouts).

Deleted outqueues

Use DSPAUDJRNE ENTTYP(DO) for the expected time range. If your system has been configured to track deletions, then the outq deletions will be listed in the report. Other parameters might reduce the size of the report if you know what values to specify.

You can use some details from the items on the report to look directly at the related audit journal entries with DSPJRN over the QAUDJRN system audit journal.
.
If the the system hasn’t been told to keep track, then there is no useful place you can look.
.
Of course, there should only be a couple or very few user profiles that have the authority to delete such things, so you might simply ask them.

User profile disabled

Standard questions… What is the QPWDLVL system value? Is USER’s Windows profile and password expected to match with your AS/400? Is USER using a mapped drive from Windows to an AS/400 shared directory? What is the iSeries Navigator setting on the Connection tab for ‘Signon information’?

The password expiration setting on the profile is not likely to have any connection to this. More likely, for some reason an invalid or incorrect password is being sent. What types of QAUDJRN audit journal entries show up related to the disabling?

Software being utilized for construction

That’s a question that should be answered by your accountant and possibly your auditor. This isn’t exactly a site for CPAs, so you’re better off searching Google than asking here and having us do the searching for you (and filtering the results). It isn’t a straightforward answer; there are various questions or tests to apply to different elements of the costs. — Tom

How to open ADX files?

You should open .ADX files with the application that created it. You can open it with Notepad if you wish, but that might not be very useful.

Opening a file isn’t useful for much unless it’s done by the application that created it. Since multiple applications are known to use the .ADX file extension, we don’t know what to do with your file. And anyone can create a file with that extension any time they want. Even Notepad can create files with that extension.
.
In short, if it’s your file, you’re the only one who knows where it came from and how it should be opened. If someone sent it to you, you need to ask the sender.

Help with a simple script

The Help menu-bar item should have a ‘Procedures’ menu item. When that displays, open the index and review the [ goto ] entry. When that makes some sense, look over the discussions of [ wait condition ].
.
The ‘goto’ macro statement lets you cause your macro to go back up to a :label that marks your ‘Edit’ point. The ‘goto’ might be right after your ‘roll-up’.
.
You might have a condition that looks for ‘More…’ on the screen, and it keeps going back until ‘More…’ is no longer found.
.
It’s not possible to be very specific without seeing a representative sequence of screens, but maybe you can make some progress or get enough added background to ask for a more useful answer. Not sure what can be added yet.

Transferring data from iSeries V5R4 to Windows 7 PC

Where exactly does the error message show up? Is it in a PC message box? Or is it on an AS/400 terminal screen?

And what exactly is meant by “transfer data from an RPG2 program”? Usually, transfers are from a file, not from a program. Transferring from a program would have some specific elements of programming on the AS/400 that would need to be discussed. Transferring from a file would involve elements of server configurations.

Without knowing what was installed (and possibly how), it’s hard to be sure. The answer has to be “Yes, it’s possible.” But that’s a long way from saying that it’s what happened. — Tom

Excel to AS/400 VBA – SETTEXT not working

AFAIK, the primary documentation on the web should be Host Access Class Library Automation Objects. It’s not user-friendly by any stretch of the imagination. Much of it is on a single very long page that often has to be searched with a browser search function (i.e., {Ctrl-F}), and multiple variations of the product are all in different parts of that same page.

.
But reading down at least through the discussion of Figure 3 can provide some background.

Do you have a basic Support contract with IBM?

Hidden programs on XP

@Mickey: I figured you knew lots of .EXEs (programs) would be scattered around, because your posting history tells us you have some experience. The general idea, though, does need to be mentioned in order to spark ideas from any possible member.
.
You know, I might think about simply creating lists of all .EXEs from two or three users’ PCs. (I’d pick different kinds of users. The ‘supervisor’ might be one good one.) The lists would be a basis for a clarification discussion with the ‘supervisor’. Ask question like “What about this program?” Perhaps after asking the same question a few dozen times, the situation will be clear.
.
Can you describe a little about what the duties of a “tech liaison” are in your organization? And how does it relate to the responsibilities of the “IT department”? It sounds like an interesting task for you, but it’s not clear if it’s the kind of thing you should have strong accountability for.

Excel to AS/400 VBA – SETTEXT not working

Tom,
Thank you. I tried your suggestion and am getting an index out of bounds error. I’m confused as to why the autECLFieldList would be a better option if I am already calling out the field (which doesn’t work anyway … ).

I’ve been finding all bits of code on the web. I do not have documentation to go by.
