Quick Start

Configuring iSeries SMTP Dual-Stack

Use these instructions to configure your iSeries (or AS/400) if you are running Domino R5/R6 on the same system (or partition) as this systems’ OS/400 SMTP server. This procedure performs an SMTP bind operation so both servers can run concurrently.

IF DOMINO IS RUNNING ON ANOTHER SYSTEM (OR PARTITION) THAN THE SYSTEM (OR PARTITION) THAT YOU ARE CONFIGURING YOU DO NOT NEED TO BIND THE SMTP SERVERS. Click here to return to the SMTP setup instructions.

If you have questions call our SupportLine at (866) 559-0800 option 2 or send e-mail to support@ddlsystems.com. We will be glad to help you!

To setup Dual-Stack support for SMTP you will bind the Domino server to one IP address and the iSeries SMTP server to another IP address.

For example:

9.5.4.6 is your Domino IP address in the local host table.

9.5.4.8 is not currently in the local host table.

9.5.4.6 will be the IP address that you enter in the CHGDOMSVR (see step 5 below).

9.5.4.8 will be the IP address that you enter in the ADDSMTPLE (step 3 and 4 below).

Please perform the following steps to configure your system with Dual-Stack support:

1. Sign-on the iSeries (or AS/400) with the ACO user profile.

2. Enter the command below.

CHGSMTPA then press <F4>

Page down to the interface/domain association parameter and change the value to *LIST and press <Enter>.

3. Enter the command below along with the IP address that you are binding the OS/400 SMTP server to:

ADDSMTPLE TYPE(*SVRBIND) INTNETADR(IP address) then press <Enter>

4. Enter the command below along with the IP address that you are binding the OS/400 SMTP server to (same as above):

ADDSMTPLE TYPE(*CLTBIND) INTNETADR(IP address) then press <Enter>

5. Enter the command below to end the Domino server:

ENDDOMSVR SERVER(domino server name) then press <Enter>

6. Enter the command below to configure the Domino server:

CHGDOMSVR SERVER(domino server name) then press <F4>

Set the SMTP services parameter (if available) to *DOMINO and enter the IP address (of your Domino server) into the Internet address parameter and press <Enter>. This is the IP address that is associated with the Domino server in the iSeries local host table (CFGTCP option 10).

7. Enter the command below to start the Domino server:

STRDOMSVR SERVER(domino server name) then press <Enter>

8. Enter the commands below to end the OS/400 SMTP server and the mail server framework jobs.

ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*SMTP), then press <Enter>

ENDMSF, then press <Enter>

9.Enter the command below to start the OS/400 SMTP server and the mail server framework jobs.

STRTCPSVR SERVER(*SMTP), then press <Enter>

STRMSF, then press <Enter>

10.Enter the command below to display the QSYSWRK subsystem.

WRKACTJOB SBS(QSYSWRK), then press <Enter>

In the display that results from the above command, verify that there are:

3 jobs named QMSF running

A job named QTSMTPBRCL running

A job named QTSMTPBRSR running

A job named QTSMTPCLTD running

A job named QTSMTPSRVD running

If the mail server jobs do not start after following the instructions above, you can do some preliminary troubleshooting by looking at the job logs for the QMSF, QTSMTPBRCL, QTSMTPBRSR, QTSMTPCLTD, and QTSMTPSRVD batch jobs. Most error messages that are found in those logs have a workable recovery procedure or lead to a PTF

11.Verify the configuration by entering the following command:

NETSTAT, then press <Enter>

Select option 3 from the menu. Look at the SMTP connection in the local port column. Display the one in listen status and verify that it's associated with the QTCP user profile and the IP address is the one you specified in step 3 and 4 above.

12.You have completed the setup and testing of SMTP Dual Stack support. Click here to return to step 12 in the "Configure iSeries E-mail" setup instructions.

Hardware Requirements

Requires one standard iSeries V.24 SDLC communications line and one ECS (or Hayes® compatible) modem (or a properly configured SMTP e-mail connection to the Internet). Works with all alphanumeric and two-way pagers, properly equipped cellular phones, smartphones, pda's, palmtops, and all numeric pagers.

Software Requirements

ACO PAGER™, ACO NET™, ACO ESI™, and ACO CLIENT™ execute on iSeries® systems (all models) running OS/400 Version 5 Release 2 (or higher). ACO Client™ requires WebSphere® Application Server v5.0 (or higher), WebSphere® Application Server - Express, or any Java 1.3 compliant web application server like Apache. ACO ESI™ requires an enterprise system application like IBM Tivoli® or BMC Patrol Enterprise Manager®. Your Enterprise System may require the use of WebSphere® MQ middleware (V5.1 or higher). This software is available from IBM at an additional fee and is not included in the purchase of the ACO ESI™ software product. ACO ESI™ optionally monitors your network connected Windows servers using a Windows compliant software agent. This software is available (at a nominal fee) from one of our business partners.
