Summary :
External CPI-C programs are failing to start, resulting in a timeout error with return code 242. This issue occurs because the preconditions for launching these programs haven't been met. For systems where both the Gateway and CPIC run on the same computer, ensure the CPIC program appears in the search path and is executable under the Gateway identifier. For remote setups, necessary user credentials and permissions must be configured properly. For troubleshooting, examine the Gateway trace file dev_rd, and if using NT platforms, install a local Gateway. Replace external programs with a script that logs the process to diagnose issues more effectively. Activate traces for the external programs if further debugging is required.
Key words :
