: : When trying to use stcmd against a StarTeam 4.2 Server,

: : Error Occured:
: : Bad Packet

: : And nothing else. This can mean a number of

: : I have been searching for a troubleshooting

: This error occurs usually when the endpoint specified in the -p switch is not pointing to a TCP/IP SOCKETS protocol, but rather TCP/IP RPC. By default, a StarTeam server runs with the following ports:
: TCP/IP (RPC) - 49200
: TCP/IP (Sockets) - 49201

: In this case, if your stcmd command is trying to connect to port 49200, you will get the 'bad packet' error.

: Sockets is the only supported protocol for the StarTeam command line interface.

OK. Where is the comprehensive troubleshooting guide, or at least an informative list of StarTeam error Messages and their meanings /resolutions. (I wish!)
