Chapter 9 - DE-ACTIVATING AND REMOVING SAFENET/400

You must be signed on as a Super Admin in SafeNet/400 to perform any Activate/De-Activate processes. See ‘SafeNet Administrator’ in Chapter One of this guide.

De-activating SafeNet/400

Under some circumstances you may want to de-activate SafeNet/400. It may be necessary when troubleshooting network problems to make sure they are not being caused by an application such as SafeNet/400, or when you need to remove SafeNet/400 from your system.

If after you have de-activated SafeNet/400 you still have problems with network requests or connections, you may want to IPL your System i5 or ENDSBS *ALL to uncover any autostart jobs or other IPL-initiated OS/400 activities that may still be allocating SafeNet/400 objects and programs. This is not required if you do not need to de-allocate all the SafeNet/400 programs.

Once you have been successful in isolating your network problem, you can re-activate SafeNet/400.

Before de-activating

Optionally, rather than de-activating SafeNet/400 you can remove one or more exit points if required.

For example, if you have a problem with the *FILESRV server function use the WRKREGINF command to:

1.Locate the OS/400 exit point for the *FILESRV server function

2.Remove the SafeNet/400 exit program

3.Stop and restart the file server

This will prevent the OS/400 file server job from using SafeNet/400 but continue to protect the other server jobs in OS/400 with SafeNet/400. This way you can eliminate a performance problem or OS/400 problem from one server but continue to protect your other access points with SafeNet/400.
