This topic collection describes how to manage the DRDA/DDM server jobs that communicate using sockets over TCP. It describes the subsystem in which the server runs, the objects that affect the server and how to manage those resources.
The DRDA/DDM TCP/IP server that is shipped with the i5/OS™ licensed program does not typically require any changes to your existing system configuration in order to work correctly. It is set up and configured when you install i5/OS. At some time, you might want to change the way the system manages the server jobs to better meet your needs, solve a problem, improve the server's performance, or simply look at the jobs on the server. To make such changes and meet your processing requirements, you need to know which objects affect which pieces of the system and how to change those objects.
This topic collection describes, at a high level, some of the work management concepts that need to be understood in order to work with the server jobs and how the concepts and objects relate to the server. In order to fully understand how to manage your iSeries™ server, it is recommended that you carefully review the Work management topic before you continue with this topic collection. This topic collection then shows you how the TCP/IP server can be managed and how they fit in with the rest of the system.
