Managing IMS Connect TCP/IP ports

Use the Ports tab in Status Monitor of the Operations Console to start and stop IMS™ Connect TCP/IP ports from the IMS Connect Extensions Operations Console.

Procedure

  1. Open the Ports tab. See Displaying statistics on IMS Connect activity. A list of ports is displayed.
    Tip: A suffix on the port number identifies the port type. The suffix may be one of the following values:
    D
    Distributed Relational Data Architecture (DRDA®)
    S
    Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
    If the port number has no suffix, the port has been defined on the PORT or PORTID parameter of the TCPIP statement defined in the HWSCFGxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set.
  2. Right-click on a port to see a list of available actions.
    Option Description
    Start Start communication on the port
    Stop Stop communication on the port
    Note:

    If Show confirmation on Stop/Start is selected, a confirmation dialog is displayed before the port is updated.
