Help for DVIPA Distributed Targets
This help page explains information about the DVIPA distributed targets for a particular DVIPA IP address and port. The available information includes the number of listening servers and their job names, number of connections being distributed to the target or targets, and the WLM weight associated with the target system.
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
Displays the XCF IP address of the target TCP/IP stack.
Number of Connections
The total number of connections for the DVIPA TCP/IP address and port which have been distributed to the target stack regardless of whether the connection is still active or not. The actual number of connections that get displayed on the DVIPA Connections page may be more or less than this number. Click on the connection number to view connection information and issue commands on the DVIPA Connections page. The total number of connections will be reset to zero when TCP/IP is stopped.
WLM Weight
The Workload Manager weight value for the MVS system on which the target TCP/IP stack is located. The value is normalized such that the lowest value is 1. This weight value is an indication of the available CPU capacity of the target system. The lower the value, the lower the capacity.
Number of Servers
The number of servers on the target system ready at the port to service connection requests.
Server Job Names
The name of the application that is waiting to service connection requests. This name represents the application that opened the socket and/or did the bind processing. The name of the application may be UNKNOWN if the target system is a level lower than z/OS 1.2.
