Solve communication problems using status information

You can often diagnose the communications problem by checking communications status. Status information for network servers, network interfaces, lines, controllers, or devices might represent the symptom of the problem.

To check and change the communication configuration on the system, do the following:

  1. Type the Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command on any iSeries™ system command line.
  2. Press F4. The Work with Configuration Status display appears.
  3. Specify the configuration type for the CFGTYPE parameter.
  4. Specify the configuration description for the CFGD parameter.
Note:
You can sort this list produced by WRKCFGSTS based on the status of the objects using the STATUS parameter. For example, if you want to see just the failed objects, specify STATUS(*FAILED).
