Manage Remote Connections

This task enables you to manage remote connections.

The HMC manages remote connections automatically. It puts requests on a queue and processes them in the order in which they are received. However, this task allows you to manage the queue manually, if necessary. You can stop transmissions, move priority requests ahead of others, or delete requests.

To manage remote connections, do the following:

1. Open the Manage Remote Connections task from the Service Management work pane.
2. From the Manage Remote Connections window, a list of transmitting requests being and a list of waiting requests transmitted are displayed. You can select requests from either list and display the available options by clicking Options on the menu bar. The options permit you to:
   • Prioritize a selected request (move it to the top of the queue)
   • Cancel selected requests
   • Cancel all active requests (those being transmitted)
   • Cancel all waiting requests
   • Hold the queue (puts queue on hold after completing current active request)
   • Release the queue
   • Close the window and exit
