Problem:
Customer has set up the FDMERGE process on a Windows 2000 PC and is having problems getting the FDMERGE command to work.
The following info keeps coming back in the HTTP response log:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head><title>
MergeForm
</title></head> <body> <lasterror>ERROR: Forms merge to: C:\RJSTEMP\MRGTXT04150723053740QPADEV000D.PDF failed. Return code:91</lasterror> <completion>91</completion> <returnfile>C:\RJSTEMP\MRGTXT04150723053740QPADEV000DDICK262933.PDF</returnfile> </body> </html>
Solution:
It appears that the original setup instructions for FDMERGE needed to be modified a little for Windows 2000.
Using FDMERGE multi-threaded forms merge command for merging forms on the fly from a CL or RPG program
It seems that the ONLY user ID and password combination that prevents the 91 error on Windows 2000 is Administrator.
You must set the local PC Administrator user ID and password in the following settings: 1.) Anonymous HTTP authentication in the Directory Security tab. Under Anonymous access and authentication control 2.) identify impersonate in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\RJSFormServer\Web.Config file must be set to Administrator for the user ID and password. 3.) Local Policy Settings - Act as part of the operating system - Add Administrator user. During testing it appeared that this step can be skipped, but it shouldn't hurt anything.
