If you are having problems connecting to your server with the editor first check the log file. And if you are asking yourself the question “What log file?” you should check the page eclipse_launch_parameter.

Perhaps it is a network problem or configuration problem (yes, as always … it is never the program )

First be sure to be able to reach the server: ping your_server

Then be sure to be able to reach the certain ports of your server. For non-ssl that would be:

telnet your_server port

where port is:

• 8476
• 8475
• 8471
• 8473

The port numbers can be found in the IBM Information Center (search for DDM as-signon).

The outcome of the telnet command should be something like this:

telnet pub1.rzkh.de 8475
Trying 62.176.136.104...
Connected to pub1.rzkh.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
