Various errors when trying to connect to IBM i system using Code for IBM i

[jefferson210525]

When connecting to my IBM i system using Code for IBM i v2.15.3, I’m encountering multiple component issues that prevent the connection to my system.

Code for IBM i components:
  cqsh (1): Error
  GetNewLibl (1): `Installed`
  GetMemberInfo (2): Installed
  CopyToImport (1): Installed
  SQLStatementCheck[er (5): Error

In addition, the following error message appears during initialization:

"The data area QSYS/QCPFRMIMPF exists on this system and may impact Code for IBM i functionality."

Notes:
The .vscode/cqsh_1 script was missing or not executable

$HOME permissions are valid (/home/user123)

I’m using /QOpenSys/usr/bin/bash as the shell

Reinstalling the required tools via the extension did not resolve the errors

I verified the required IFS paths and temporary directories are writable

Hi @jefferson210525 ,
this may be due to a problem with the sshd service running on your partition. See https://codefori.github.io/docs/tips/setup/#potential-fix

Try restarting the sshd service as described in the page I linked and try to connect again.

Yes, unfortunately i won't be able to restarting the sshd.

Hello @sebjulliand,

thanks for your reply. I am afraid that this restarting is currently not an option in this productive environment. I have to ask about it.

[jefferson210525]

I tried older versions of Code for IBM i and with 2.10.1 it actually works to connect. I might just stick with it for now.

Ok.
Also, a user reported how he fixed his issues with SSH: #2401 (comment)
I understand that you may not be the one who'll be able to fix that, but you can at least pass it on to your sysadmin, hopefully.
