F8 (Work with modems)
Displays the Work with TCP/IP Point-to-Point Modem Information display
(shown in Figure 86 on page 131).
F10 (Local interface status)
Displays the Work with TCP/IP Interface display. From this display you can
display information about particular interfaces and associated routes, start or
end a TCP/IP interface, or work with configuration status.
F14 (Work with session jobs)
Runs the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command for active jobs with
job names that start with the characters QTPP. This displays a list of any active
point-to-point TCP/IP jobs and allows you to work directly with these jobs. For
more information about managing jobs, see “Working With Point-to-Point Jobs”.
Working With Point-to-Point Jobs
SLIP jobs are Point-to-Point jobs that run in the QSYSWRK subsystem. In general,
you can work with the Point-to-Point jobs just as you work with any other jobs
running on AS/400. The
Work Management
book contains detailed information
about how to manage AS/400 jobs. You can work with individual SLIP jobs for
profiles that have a job name associated with them as seen on the WRKTCPPTP
display ( Figure 89 on page 135). To work with a job, select 14=Work with session
job. If you select option 14 against a profile that does not have a job associated
with it, such as MOLEANS1, AS/400 displays an error message.
Point-to-Point Job Names:
The Point-to-Point job names for SLIP start with the
string QTPP, where dial-out jobs (*DIAL) are QTPPDIALnn, and Dial-In jobs (*ANS)
are QTPPANSnnn. The number string nn or nnn is a sequential number from 1 to 99
for *DIAL jobs and 1 to 999 for *ANS jobs. The AS/400 system starts a new job for
each SLIP profile that you start.
Point-to-Point Job Status Indicators:
This topic summarizes the job status
indicators that Point-to-Point jobs can have. Some of the status indicators show you
what AS/400 is doing as a connection is starting, in use, or ending. Other status
indicators show error conditions. The jobs displayed in Figure 89 on page 135 show
some of the possible status indicators.
INACTIVE
No jobs are currently running for this profile. However, if a job is listed in under
Job Name on the Work with Point-to-Point TCP/IP display, you can display the
spooled file output for the job. To do this, select option 14 (Work with session
job). Option 14 runs the WRKJOB command for the configuration profile.
SBMERR
An error occurred during the submission of the job. If a SBMJOB fails (SLIP
status SBMERR), then no job name exists. The job name and job number are
generated if the SBMJOB actually completes and the job is added to the job
queue. If SBMERR occurs, look at the messages in the job log of the job that
ran the STRTCPPTP command to determine what caused the error.
