iSeries™ Navigator for Wireless makes it easy to run commands on iSeries systems from your wireless device.
Use iSeries Navigator for Wireless to run any i5/OS™ command across multiple iSeries systems. You can select Run Command from the summary page, which then asks you to select the system or system group to run the command on. Or you can select a system from your system list and run a command on it.
When you select Run Command, you have the option of selecting an existing command definition (defined by you in Management Central), or you can enter any command. Because entering text on a telephone is cumbersome, using command definitions is extremely useful.
When commands are started, they are started as Management Central tasks. That way you can keep a record of them, view the status across all systems, and view the overall status by looking at the summary page. The summary page displays all the tasks you have run with Management Central (including iSeries Navigator for Wireless) over the last 24 hours on your wireless device. After 24 hours, you need to use iSeries Navigator on your PC to view a Command task. If you want to display task details on your wireless device for longer than 24 hours, you can customize your connection.
The graphic below shows a sample of iSeries Navigator for Wireless command support in a PDA format. Notice that if the command works, a plus sign (+) is displayed. On an internet telephone that supports graphics, a successful command is represented by a smiling face icon.
