Host Status Display

The View→Status menu on the main panel displays the status display.

For each host system defined to the MAINVIEW Data Server using Setup, there is an entry. The columns are as follows:

Name - The name given as the description of the host in Setup.

Address - The network address of the server. This is a symbolic name or an IP address.

Port - The TCP port on the host system that is assigned to the MAINVIEW server. If you are using MAINVIEW Explorer, it is the same port. This number is specified in the JCL for the server.

Status - The lines are color coded as follows:

UTC Connected time - When the last attempt (successful or not) to connect to the host was made.

Host Level - The current maintenance level of the host.

Pop-up Menu

Right-clicking any line in the table opens a pop-up menu with the following choices:

Retry - If the host is inactive, this initiates an attempt to connect to the host

Disconnect - If the host is active, this drops the connection to it.

Delete - Removes the definition of this host.
