Reconnecting if you are running QMF interactively

If you are entering QMF commands interactively and the connection to the remote location is lost, the Lost Connection Prompt panel displays.

About this task

If you are running QMF commands in a linear procedure and the connection to the remote location is lost, the procedure ends. If you are running the procedure interactively, the Lost Connection Prompt panel displays so you can reconnect.

If you are running QMF commands in a procedure with logic, the logic of the procedure determines how the procedure ends. When the procedure finishes, the Lost Connection Prompt panel displays so you can reconnect.

Procedure

To reconnect to the remote database:

  1. Type 1 to reconnect to the remote database, or type 2 to exit QMF.

    If you type 1 to reconnect to the remote database, the CONNECT Command Prompt panel displays.

    The name of the location to which you were previously connected appears in the TO Location field.

  2. Enter the information to reconnect to the remote database.

    If QMF cannot connect to the location you specify, the CONNECT Command Prompt panel displays so you can try to connect again.
