Using the status information to solve communication problems

You can diagnose the communications problem by checking the communications status. The status information for network servers, network interfaces, lines, controllers, or devices might represent the symptom of the problem.

To check and change the communication configuration on the system, follow these steps:

  1. Enter the Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command on any iSeries command line.
  2. Press F4. The Work with Configuration Status display opens.
  3. Specify the configuration type for the CFGTYPE parameter.
  4. Specify the configuration description for the CFGD parameter.
Note: You can sort the list that is produced by the WRKCFGSTS command by the status of the objects using the STATUS parameter. For example, if you want to see only the failed objects, specify STATUS(*FAILED).
