Help for IP Connection Commands

This help page explains the active sessions for the selected service point that match the parameters set by the IP Connection Filters page. Displayed is information about the client workstation, TCP/IP stack, connection counts, connection type, and for Telnet sessions the logical unit (LU) name, and MVS application (Appl) name. This help page also explains how a user can issue commands against the connections, and edit the filters.

Connections

The connections from the hostname or IP address you provided on the IP Connections page to the service point (stack) you selected from the IP Connections page. Each connection is shown with a corresponding radio button. Click on the corresponding radio button to select the connection on which you would like to perform further commands. Each connection may have the Client Port, Client Address, Local Port, Bytes Sent, Bytes Received, LU SLU, and the APPL PLU displayed. In the LU SLU and APPL PLU columns, a NULL value states that the data collector did not receive the information for these fields in response to the collection request. A blank field shows that there is no session. If there are no connections found, the message: "No connections found. Check your Connection Filters or select Choose Connections." will be displayed.
