The most likely reasons for a failed connection are described below:
- The user ID or password specified in your connection details or in the details for this system
is incorrect.
- Select Connection details from the View menu
in the Navigation view to check or reenter your IMS Connect Extensions user ID and password.
- Right-click the system and select Edit to
check or reenter the user ID and password in the system details.
Note: Passwords must conform to the
Activate Mixed Case Passwords setting in
the
IMS Connect Extensions system definition:
- If Activate Mixed Case Passwords is enabled, you must enter each letter
in the password in the correct case.
- If Activate Mixed Case Passwords is not enabled, the password is
converted to all uppercase so it does not matter how it is entered.
- The specified system name or IMS Connect Extensions console host name
is incorrect.
- The console port number is incorrect. Make sure you are using the port defined in IMS Connect Extensions, not one of the IMS
Connect ports defined in the IMS Connect configuration
member.
- The specified system is not active.
- The number of sockets available in IMS Connect has been exhausted.
