Testing a connection

To test the connection parameters you specified:

  1. Ensure that the service is running. You can start the service in several ways:
    • In the main view of the configuration console, click Start.
    • In the Services Control Panel applet, locate the "Infor LN Transfer Service" service, and start the service in the usual way.
    • On a command line prompt, type net start InforLNTransfer
  2. In the configuration console, select the connection node in the tree.
  3. In the Connection view, click Test.

    If you perform a test while the service is not running, an error message, stating that the Infor LN Transfer Service could not be reached, is displayed.

    If all parameters are correct, a success message is displayed.

    If the connection parameters contain errors, an error message is displayed. The message usually indicates which parameter is wrong:

    • An error in the Username or Password results in this message: Wrong username/password
    • An error in the Environment results in this message: Environment 'xxxx' not found
    • An error in the Command may result in this message: createManagedConnection failed
    • An error in the last part of the URL may result in this message: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found)
    • An error in the first part of the URL (hostname or port number) may result in this message: An error occurred while sending the request

    If the error message is unclear, as in the last example, select the top-level node in the tree. The main view is displayed. Click View to open the log file. Inspect the end of the file for more clues:

    • In case of a wrong port number, you may find further information: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it <IP address>:<port>.
    • In case of a wrong hostname, you may find this information: The remote name could not be resolved: <hostname>.
