Work with Point-to-Point TCPIP (WRKTCPPTP)

The Work with Point-to-Point TCP/IP (WRKTCPPTP) command allows you to display and work with the point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles defined on this system.

You can work with all the configuration profiles defined, or a subset of the profiles by using the OPRMODE and CFGPRF parameters. The information shown for each profile includes the name, operating mode, data link layer protocol type, and session status.

The list allows you to add, change, copy, display, or remove point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles. You can also start and end point-to-point session jobs.

The following options cannot be used with *PPP linetype profiles:

Change
Copy
Remove
Display details

The following options can be used with *PPP linetype profiles:

Start
End
Work with line status
Work with session job

Use the iSeries Navigator interface for Configuration of *PPP Slip or Point to Point profiles.

Restrictions:

To add, change, or remove a point-to-point configuration profile you must have input/output system configuration (*IOSYSCFG) special authority.
To start or end a point-to-point session job, you must have use (*USE) authority to the STRTCPPTP or ENDTCPPTP command.

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
CFGPRF	Configuration profile	Character value, *ALL	Optional, Positional 1
OPRMODE	Operating mode	ANY, ANS, *DIAL	Optional, Positional 2

Configuration profile (CFGPRF)

Specifies which configuration profiles to show in the list.

*ALL: Show all point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles.
generic-name: Specify the generic name of the point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profile. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, then all profiles with names that begin with the generic name are displayed. If an asterisk is not included, the name is assumed to be a complete point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profile name.
name: Specify the name of a specific configuration profile. Only this profile will appear in the list.

Operating mode (OPRMODE)

Specifies the operating mode of the point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles to be shown in the list.

*ANY: Any point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profile that matches the configuration profile name specified on the CFGPRF parameter will appear in the list, regardless of operating mode.
*ANS: Only point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles with an operating mode of *ANS will appear in the list.
*DIAL: Only point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles with an operating mode of *DIAL will appear in the list.

Examples

Example 1: Displaying all profiles

WRKTCPPTP

This command displays the Work with Point-to-Point TCP/IP panel, showing a list containing all the point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles defined on this system.

Example 2: Displaying only *DIAL profiles

WRKTCPPTP   OPRMODE(*DIAL)

This command displays the Work with Point-to-Point TCP/IP panel, showing a list containing all the point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles defined on this system with an operating mode of *DIAL.

Example 3: Displaying only *ANS profiles for a generic name

WRKTCPPTP   CFGPRF(ANSPRF*)  OPRMODE(*ANS)

This command displays the Work with Point-to-Point TCP/IP panel, showing a list containing all the point-to-point TCP/IP configuration profiles defined on this system with an operating mode of *ANS that begin with the six characters 'ANSPRF'.
