    Description:
    We upgraded to version 20 this weekend and our sip2_server is not working. We are getting the following error:

    Error: Active library 'SYS50' is not a ADM library - exiting.

    The settings we are using are identical to our settings in version 19. Any suggestions?

    Resolution:
    [From site:] The sip2 server expects the library to be an ADM library. We run 3 sip2 servers in our SYS50 library (our usr_library) for authentication purposes. One for each of 3 different types of IDs. The sip2 server wants a tab100 setting of:

    DOC-TYPE-ADM=Y

    In testing the REST API, I had changed the setting to N. This was to get JBOSS to work. We are looking hard at using the REST API instead of X-services for some of our peripheral services. So it looks like we might have a problem in the future with our set up. See follow-up KB 16384-40257.
