APPC controller recovery summary

The action the system takes when advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) controller descriptions go into recovery depends on the setting of many parameters. The following tables can help you understand and select the appropriate configuration parameters to best optimize system behavior when APPC controllers representing personal computer clients go into error recovery.

Table 1. When does the iSeries attempt to connect the remote system?
