Use IBM i host servers

Describes the client/server communication process, and how to manage it. Additionally, this topic lists relevant IBM® i values and subsystems, and describes how to identify, display and manage server jobs on the system.

The servers shipped with the base operating system do not typically require any changes to existing configurations to work correctly. They are set up and configured when you install the IBM i server. You may want to change the way the system manages the server jobs to meet your needs, solve problems, improve system performance, or simply view the jobs on the system. To make such changes and meet processing requirements, you must know which objects affect which pieces of the system and how to change those objects. To really understand how to manage your system, refer to Work management before you continue with this topic.
