Hi Benjamin

If possible, can you still explain what was wrong and how you fixed it? It might help other users 🙂

Kind regards,
– Kevin

Hi Benjamin

Sorry for getting back to you this late. Please follow this guide in order to activate the built-in Windows SSH feature: https://ittutorials.net/microsoft/windows-10/enable-ssh-windows-10-command-prompt/.

Otherwise you can always download https://www.putty.org/ and use that. This requires a lot less work 😉

Goodluck!
-Kevin

Hi Nihar

I assume this is about challenge #14?

Did you perform any actions on the mainframe that day? Loglook checks the global system log and if you didn’t do anything yet, you won’t be in it.

Furthermore you need to change 2 variables correctly, the System ID and the search string. Please verify both these variables. These variables are located between and including line 000009 and 000018. I am prohibited from giving you a straight answer.

Kind regards,
Kevin
