The problem that I have is that my setup is exactly like that, default
Tpmconfig.xml with port 38583 for ISO8583IssuerGatewayWSFE. I have
tried to telnet to that port but the connection is refused, aka the
port is not open. I have checked and there is no issue with the
firewall on the machine itself. I can have another application open
the port 38583 without any problems.

In fact, checking with netstat shows that even though the
ISO8583IssuerGatewayWSFE process is active, it hasn't opened the port
38583 or any other port. Basically, ISO8583IssuerGatewayWSFE is not
opening any ports when running, and not reporting any errors either. A
quick look at the C++ code for WSFE gateway shows that it would
definitely report an error message if it was unable to open the port.
So, either I can't read code, I am missing something totally obvious,
or possibly I mis-compiled the application.

Is there a way to force ISO8583ISsuerGatewayWSFE to show full
debugging notices, or log them in some file? I noticed Tpmconfig.xml
allows different debug levels to be set but I can't find any
information on what those debug levels mean.

1. About MTIs... I don't have any. At this point I have not gotten any
settings information from my bosses, and they don't have any to share.
I suppose I can setup the config files with any default MTI that can
be used for that.

2. The test server configuration would be great. I'd greatly
appreciate that. I don't want to attach an untested translation
software to a production environment which authorizes financial
transactions..... that would be very irresponsible.
