PC*MILER|AS/400 MVS User’s Guide

To get the AS/400 mileage server screen, you can click on SRV32 on
your tool bar. You can also press and hold down the ALT key, and press
and release the TAB key until the AS/400 Server – PC*MILER icon is
selected, and then release both keys. To bring up the Server Log, click
on the Bart’s Windows pull-down menu, or press ALT-W and choose
Display server Log.
From a green screen on another PC or terminal, run PC*MILER and run a
route from 10001 to 90009 to make sure that it is working. Watch the
PC*MILER AS/400 Server’s server log. You should see those ZIP codes
show up in a line that starts out “input=…” This test is to ensure that you
are working with the correct mileage server, and that it is working properly.
Now exit the green screen PC*MILER and send a 60-second sleep
command:
Call queue<space>(‘SP60’) press <ENTER>.
Watch the server log to see that it catches the sleep message. Also
watch in the Midrange Work Space that the number of conversations
drops to zero. Finally, the mileage server should wake up and reconnect
with the mileage server; the number of conversations in the Midrange
Work Space should go up to 2.
Now go back to the green screen PC*MILER and send another mileage
request to test that the re-established connection is working properly. If it
is working now, you can use this feature before your ipl’s or power downs.
Be sure to put it to sleep for a long enough period of time. If Bart wakes
up too early (before the AS/400 is back up) it won’t be able to connect.
Be sure to leave enough time between sending the sleep command and
starting the ipl or power down. Bart needs time to disconnect the router
before the router senses the AS/400 dropping out or the process fails.
