Help for DVIPA Connections
This help page explains the connection details for the sessions involving a DVIPA IP address and port that have been distributed to the target TCP/IP stack. If there are no connections, a message will be displayed stating "No DVIPA connections found. Check your DVIPA Filter settings as needed."
DVIPA IP Address
Displays the DVIPA TCP/IP address.
DVIPA Port
Displays the DVIPA distributed port.
Destination System Name
Displays the actual hostname of the target TCP/IP stack.
Destination Job Name
Displays the TCP/IP procedure name that started the TCP/IP stack on the target system.
Destination XCF IP Address

Select
Select the radio button to issue commands on the corresponding connection.
Remote IP Address
The remote IP address for the TCP/IP connection. This IP address will be the XCF IP address of the TCP/IP stack that processed the connect request. If the connect request is processed by the TCP/IP stack that owns the DVIPA IP address (where the DVIPA IP address is being distributed) then the remote IP address will be the DVIPA IP address instead of the XCF IP address.
Port
The port associated with the remote IP address that initiated the connection.
Server Job Name
The name of the application that serviced the connection request for this connection. This name represents the application that opened the socket and/or did the bind processing.
Bytes Sent
The number of bytes sent from the target stack.
Bytes Received
The number of bytes received.
Logical Unit
The logical unit (LU) of the connection. A NULL value states that the data collector did not receive the information for this field in response to the collection request.
APPL
The application name (APPL) of the connection. A NULL value states that the data collector did not receive the information for this field in response to the collection request.
