After upgrading from version 8.x of Reflection X to a newer version of Reflection X, users are no longer able to connect to VMS hosts. This technical note explains the problem and provides steps for resolving the issue.
Starting in Reflection X version 8.0.6, the default command line for VMS host connection templates was changed. If you are using connection templates that use the Startapp or Startsm commands and are unable to connect to a VMS host after upgrading to Reflection X version 9.0 or higher, this may be the cause of the problem.
In most cases, you can simply modify the connection template to restore functionality. However, if users are running in any of the following environments, further steps are required.
If users are running in any of the environments listed above, see Technical Note 1624 for further directions.
If users are not running in any of the environments listed above, follow the steps below to modify the VMS host connection templates.
You must modify each Reflection X default RXC file that uses one of the following commands: startsm, startapp.
The following is a list of Reflection X default templates that use startsm or startapp:
Note: Shortcuts and custom RXC files do not need to be updated, as the Reflection X upgrade will modify only the default RXC files.
To fix this problem, follow the steps below.
For example, in the vms.rxc template, the command @startapp %IP#% term should be edited to read: @startapp %IP% term.
