Communication Services

These services provide communication information.

ACTIVE_DB_CONNECTIONS table function
The ACTIVE_DB_CONNECTIONS table function returns a result table that contains one row for each DRDA, DDM, and Db2® Mirror connection. For these connections, the specified job has either an application requester or application server role.
ADD_TIME_SERVER procedure
The ADD_TIME_SERVER procedure adds a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to the NTP configuration list.
CHANGE_OBJECTCONNECT procedure
The CHANGE_OBJECTCONNECT procedure changes, starts, or stops the ObjectConnect over IP server.
DNS_LOOKUP table function
The DNS_LOOKUP table function queries a domain name server for IP address information about a hostname.
DNS_LOOKUP_IP scalar function
The DNS_LOOKUP_IP scalar function returns a hostname for a specified IP address.
ENV_SYS_INFO view
The ENV_SYS_INFO view contains information about the current server.
HTTP_SERVER_INFO view
The HTTP_SERVER_INFO view returns information for HTTP Server for IBM® i (powered by Apache). Only information for enabled and active functions is returned.
NETSTAT_INFO view
The NETSTAT_INFO view returns information about IPv4 and IPv6 network connections.
NETSTAT_INTERFACE_INFO view
The NETSTAT_INTERFACE_INFO view returns information about IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
NETSTAT_JOB_INFO view
The NETSTAT_JOB_INFO view returns information about jobs using IPv4 and IPv6 network connections.
NETSTAT_ROUTE_INFO view
The NETSTAT_ROUTE_INFO view returns information about IPv4 and IPv6 routes.
NETWORK_ATTRIBUTE_INFO view
The NETWORK_ATTRIBUTE_INFO view returns a single row containing information about the network attributes of the system.
OBJECTCONNECT_INFO view
The OBJECTCONNECT_INFO view returns information about the ObjectConnect over IP server.
PING table function
The PING table function tests connectivity to a remote system.
RDB_ENTRY_INFO view
The RDB_ENTRY_INFO view returns information about relational database (RDB) directory entries.
REMOVE_TIME_SERVER procedure
The REMOVE_TIME_SERVER procedure removes a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server from the NTP configuration list.
SERVER_SBS_CONFIGURATION view
The SERVER_SBS_CONFIGURATION view returns subsystem routing information for some IBM i servers. When a client attempts to use TCP/IP to form a connection to a server listed in this view, an attempt is made to attach to a prestart job in the subsystem configured for that server.
SERVER_SBS_ROUTING view
The SERVER_SBS_ROUTING view returns information about the users who have alternate subsystem configurations for some IBM i servers. When a user profile listed in this view attempts to use TCP/IP to form a connection to the server, an attempt is made to use the alternate subsystem instead of the default subsystem for that server.
SET_SERVER_SBS_ROUTING procedure
The SET_SERVER_SBS_ROUTING procedure provides the ability to configure a server to use an alternate subsystem. This can be for all users of the server, for a specific user profile, or by IP address.
TCPIP_INFO view
The TCPIP_INFO view contains TCP/IP information for the current host connection.
TIME_PROTOCOL_INFO view
The TIME_PROTOCOL_INFO view returns information about Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers that are configured.
