[SOLVED] "tRun EX" command gives "FATAL ERROR FROM T24.INITIALISE INVALID TERMINAL MODEL DEFAULT"

"tRun EX" command gives "FATAL ERROR FROM T24.INITIALISE INVALID TERMINAL MODEL DEFAULT"

When starting Temenos T24 classic interface from TAFJ shell, I keep getting this error:

C:\Temenos\bnk\UD>tRun EX
FATAL ERROR FROM T24.INITIALISE INVALID TERMINAL MODEL &∩ú╛DEFAULT

C:\Temenos\bnk\UD>

I have R20 TAFJ installation with the MSSQL database.

Solution

Run the following command from DBTools:

JQL COPY FROM F.TERMINAL TO F.TERMINAL EBS-JBASE,DEFAULT

or (what the above command does) simply copy the record "EBS-JBASE" and save it as "DEFAULT" in MSSQL table "F_TERMINAL".

The issue is that each time a new session is created it gets assigned a "Port number", which is saved in the T24 table named "F.TERMINAL.USER" along with the default terminal type. This functionality has "migrated" to TAFJ from TAFC when running T24 Classic. When a new "Port number", that has never logged in before, is assigned to the current session - it tries to create F.TERMINAL.USER record with Terminal Model = DEFAULT, which is missing, hence the error. All previously "logged in" sessions have Terminal Model as "EBS-JBASE" as you can see in F.TERMINAL.USER table.
