iSeries Navigator URL parameters and available Web tasks

Each iSeries™ Navigator task that you work with has its own unique URL that displays in your Internet browser's Address field. Each URL is created by following a predefined set of conventions that includes the host system name, the port, the application name, and the name of the task you want to work with.

URL Parameters

Parameter name Parameter ID Description Example
Task task The URL task you want to perform If you wanted to work with active jobs on hostA:
http://hostA:2001/webnav/WnServlet?task=actjob
System &system Specifies the system you want to manage. This parameter is optional, and needs to be specified only if you want to work with tasks on a secondary host. If you want to use iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web on hostA but work with active jobs on hostB:
http://hostA:2001/webnav/WnServlet?
task=actjob&system=hostB
User &user Allows you to specify a different user ID if you are working on a secondary host system. If you want to use a different user ID on a secondary host system: 
http://hostA:2001/webnav/WnServlet?
task=actjob&system=hostB&user=userB
Filter and sort &filter and sort You can specify to allow or cancel both filter and sort on a selected task If you want to turn off the capability to filter and sort:
http://hostA:2001/webnav/WnServlet?
task=actjob&filter-allowed=false&sort-allowed=false
Table size &table-size Specifies the number of items per page you want to display in an online table If you want to change the number of active jobs displayed per page from 20 to 100:
http://hostA:2001/webnav/WnServlet?
task=actjob&table-size=100
Column sorting &column-sort=x-A/D Where x = column ID. A=Ascending D=Descending Allows you to pre-sort an iSeries Navigator list. For example, you may want to display the list of active jobs sorted by CPU% in descending order. This allows you to quickly see which jobs are using the most CPU. The parameters on your URL would look like this: &task=actjob&column-sort=8-D.

To view the column Ids for a specific list, display the list on the web, then select the Columns action for the list and click the Show Column IDs to show the ID for each column.
Single TaskMode &WnSTM Specifies whether or not a new URL request in the same browser session closes the previous request automatically. The Default setting is WnSTM=True If you want to use a Web browser that shares the same session (e.g., Netscape), this parameter must be set to false to launch more than one task at a time:
http://hostA:2001/webnav/WnServlet?
task=actjob&WnSTM=false
