You can reach the Work with Configuration Status display through the following methods:
v Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command v Work with Hardware Resources (WRKHDWRSC) command v Work with APPN Status (WRKAPPNSTS) command
v Menus (for example, the Configure Devices and Communications menu, option 4, Work with Configuration Status)
v Displays:
– Work with Network Server Descriptions (WRKNWSD) – Work with Network Interface Descriptions (WRKNWID) – Work with Line Descriptions (WRKLIND)
– Work with Controller Descriptions (WRKCTLD) – Work with Device Descriptions (WRKDEVD)
The Work with Configuration Status display shows status information for network servers, network interfaces, lines, controllers, and devices, and for jobs associated with devices. The display can be for a remote location or for one or more network servers, network interfaces, lines, controllers, or devices. Configuration descriptions are displayed for each network server, network interface, line, controller, or device description selected. Attached configuration descriptions are indented under the object to which they are attached (refer to the Work with Configuration Status display that follows).
If the status is displayed for a specific controller, upline line descriptions as well as downline device descriptions are displayed. Status displays for any collection of controllers or devices. Controllers whose names start with a specified (generic) character string, retail controller, or finance controller, show only downline attachments. The status for a remote location shows devices and modes for the specified location.
Use the F15 key from this display to work with network server status. The Work with Network Server Status display allows you to do the following:
v Display users v Work with aliases

v Work with network server sessions
v Display statistics associated with each server v Restart a server
See the OS/2 Warp Server for AS/400 Administrationbook more information about network servers.

F3=Exit F4=Prompt F12=Cancel F23=More options F24=More keys
The options are:
Position to
Type the starting characters (or full name) of the description name to which you want the list positioned. The list can be positioned only on the highest level of name for which the status is displayed. For example, when you want to look at the status for the lines, the list can be positioned to start with names that are in the list.
Options
To select an option, enter the associated number in the Option column to the left of the description name. (For example, to Vary On descriptionAAAA, enter a 1 in the Option column next to descriptionAAAA.) Not all of the options are shown on the display at one time. Press F23 (More options) to display additional options. A list of the options you can select follows:
1. Vary on: Varies on the network server, network interface, line, controller, or device and all of the attached lines, controllers, and devices. This is the same as using the Vary Configuration (VRYCFG) command with STATUS(*ON).
2. Vary off: Varies off the network server, network interface, line, controller, or device and all of the attached lines, controllers, and devices. This is the same as using the Vary Configuration (VRYCFG) command with STATUS(*OFF). You may vary off devices only if they are not allocated to an active job. Jobs can be canceled if you need to vary off a device by using the Work with job option.
3. Hold device: This option allows you to stop the communications device from receiving or transmitting any data.
4. End recovery: This option allows you to cancel automatic error recovery for the object.
5. Work with job: This option shows another display on which you can perform operations related to this job, such as canceling or displaying the job associated with the device. This is the same as using the Work with Job (WRKJOB) command.
6. Release device: This option allows you to release the communications device for receiving or transmitting data.
7. Resume recovery: This option allows you to start automatic error recovery again for the object.
8. Work with description: This option runs the Work with Network Server Descriptions (WRKNWSD), Work with Network Interface Descriptions (WRKNWID), Work with Line Descriptions (WRKLIND), Work with Controller Descriptions (WRKCTLD), Work with Device Descriptions (WRKDEVD), or Work with Mode Descriptions (WRKMODD) commands depending on the type of object selected.
9. Display mode status: This option runs the Display Mode Status (DSPMODSTS) command for the device or mode.
11. Display connection status: This option shows the connection status for the network device. For more information on this option, see“Displaying Connection Status” on page 61.
12. Work with LAN adapter: This option allows you to work with LAN adapters located on the token ring. For more information on this option, see theOS/2 Warp Server for AS/400 Administrationbook.
13. Work with APPN status: This option allows you to work with the status of APPN and HPR network sessions, and with the RTP connections on your local system. See “Work with APPN Status” on page 60 for additional information.
Description
The names of existing network interface, line, controller, device, and mode descriptions.
Type
The type of description.
*NWS Network server description
*NWI Network interface description
*LIN Line description
*CTL Controller description
*DEV Device description Status
The status of the specified network servers, network interfaces, lines, controllers, devices, or modes. See “Status Description of Network Servers, Network Interfaces, Lines, Controllers, and Devices” on page 41 for an explanation of the type of status information that appears for the network servers, network interfaces, lines, controllers, and devices.
Job
Consists of three parts: The name of the job using the device (or mode if advanced program-to-program communications (APPC)), the user profile under which the job is running, and the system-unique number of the named job. This field is blank if no job is using the device or mode, and it is always blank for line and controller entries. Only up to 255 user jobs per APPC device are shown.
Pass-through device
The SNA pass-through device that is associated with the device description.
Additional functions are available through function keys that do not appear on the initial Work with Configuration Status display. Press F24 (More keys) to display additional function keys. F10 and F11 enable you to scroll left and right to view different segments of the configuration status information, such as the type of description, job information, and associated device information.
You can use F14 (Work with ...) to go to the Work with ... Description displays, as in the following list:
v If you are working with network server status, the display shows F14 (Work with network server descriptions).
v If you are working with network interface status, the display shows F14 (Work with network interface descriptions).
v If you are working with line status, the display shows F14 (Work with lines).
v If you are working with controller status, the display shows F14 (Work with controllers).
v If you are working with device status, the display shows F14 (Work with devices).
