Issue/Introduction

A new ODBC data source is created for CA Datacom Server. Testing the connection fails with connection error:

[CA][ODBC CADATACOM/DB Driver][CA DATACOM/DB] TCP(10061)
WSAECONNREFUSED Connection Refused.

Environment

Release : 15.0

Component : CA DATACOM/Server

Cause

The error can be caused by:

• A firewall blocking access either on the PC or on the mainframe
• An incorrect host name 
• Wrong port number.

Resolution

To resolve the problem check:

• The local PC and mainframe firewall to see if they are blocking the connection, the IP address or port number.
• The host name specified in the ODBC data source is correct.
• The Port Number specified in the ODBC data source matches the port number specified in the mainframe server started task SVDBSPR. The port number is specified in the TCPIP_PORT parameter. The default is 5465. Check the SVDBSPR started task for the port number specified and also for any other error messages.
