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

Edit Filters

For ease in managing connections, you can define connection filters to eliminate some connections from the list. Click on the Edit Filters link to go to the IP Connection Filters page for viewing and updating the filters.

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.
