Checking the status of a communications link

This example shows some of the ways in which you can check the status of a communications link.

  1. If the current context isn’t PLXPROD1, issue the command CON PLXPROD1 from the current view.
  2. Display a list of all connections.

    From the current view, issue the command CONNECT. The CONNECT view, showing details of all connections in the current scope, is displayed:

     26MAR1999  18:20:19 ----------- INFORMATION DISPLAY ---------------------------
     COMMAND  ===>                                                 SCROLL ===> PAGE
     CURR WIN ===> 1        ALT WIN ===>

         1A3A CICSPA01 MRO  CICSPA03 NOTAPPLIC  INSERVICE  NOTAPPLIC
         2A1A CICSPA02 MRO  CICSPA01 NOTAPPLIC  INSERVICE  NOTAPPLIC
         2A4A CICSPA02 MRO  CICSPA04 NOTAPPLIC  INSERVICE  NOTAPPLIC
         3A1A CICSPA03 MRO  CICSPA01 NOTAPPLIC  INSERVICE  NOTAPPLIC
         3A4A CICSPA03 MRO  CICSPA04 NOTAPPLIC  INSERVICE  NOTAPPLIC
         4A1B CICSPA04 LU62 CICSPA05 RELEASED   INSERVICE  NOTPENDING
         4A2A CICSPA04 MRO  CICSPA02 NOTAPPLIC  INSERVICE  NOTAPPLIC
         4A3A CICSPA04 MRO  CICSPA03 NOTAPPLIC  INSERVICE  NOTAPPLIC

  3. Display details of a single connection.

    Move the cursor to the entry for the connection you’re interested in (in this example, connection 1A1B), and press Enter. The CONNECTD view, showing detailed information for the connection 1A1B, is displayed:

    For a more complete description of the CONNECTD view, see CONNECTD - ISC/MRO connection details.

    You can narrow down the search with a variety of parameters. If you know the name of the connection, you can use that to qualify the CONNECT view command. For example, CONNECT 1A1B limits the search to connection 1A1B. If you know the name of the connection and of the CICS® system in which it is located, you can go directly to the CONNECTD view. For example, you can issue the command CONNECTD 1A1B CICSPA01 from any view.
