Using the JES2 network commands

Use the following JES2 network commands to display or affect the status of all JES2 networking devices (NJE and RJE) and NJE connections. For more information on using each command, refer to z/OS JES2 Commands.

$D NETWORK

Displays the status of all active networking devices and NJE connections.

$E NETWORK

Runs the $E command for all active lines, JES2/VTAM interfaces (LOGONs), and network servers (NETSERVs), and causes NJE connections to be immediately reset.

$P NETWORK

Runs the $P command for all active lines, JES2/VTAM interfaces (LOGONs), and network servers (NETSERVs), causing the networking devices to be drained after their NJE connections are reset.

The $P NETWORK command also prevents the automatic restarting of networking devices and NJE connections. Afterwards, the $D NJEDEF command displays COMMAND=($PNET) and the $JDSTATUS command displays the following JES2 NOTICES:

$HASP9150 JES2 NOTICES
$HASP9173 NJE AUTOMATIC CONNECT PROCESSING DISABLED
          (NJEDEF CONNECT=NO)
$HASP9174 NJE AUTOMATIC RESTART PROCESSING DISABLED
          ($ZNET/$PNET)

$S NETWORK

Allows the automatic restarting of networking devices and NJE connections previously disallowed by $P NETWORK, $Z NETWORK or NJEDEF CONNECT=(NO) and immediately starts networking devices and NJE connections that are restartable.

$Z NETWORK

Performs $E NETWORK and $P NETWORK processing, halting automatic networking device and NJE connection restart processing and draining networking devices. Afterwards, the $D NJEDEF command displays COMMAND=($PNET) and the $JDSTATUS command shows the following JES2 NOTICES:

$HASP9150 JES2 NOTICES
$HASP9173 NJE AUTOMATIC CONNECT PROCESSING DISABLED
          (NJEDEF CONNECT=NO)
$HASP9174 NJE AUTOMATIC RESTART PROCESSING DISABLED
          ($ZNET/$PNET)
