Issue/Introduction

Description

How to display connections currently running on the stack?

Solution

The console command

/F snstcp,NETSTAT CONN   

will display all ports in use in any manner.

All Netstat displays issued in this manner will appear in your JESMSGLG or T01LOG, depending on how you have logging configured.

They will NOT appear in the system log itself.

 /F snstcp, NETSTAT CONN LOCPORT(port_number)                               

can be used to see the status of a specific local port along with all connections for that port.

An excerpt from the NETSTAT CONN display:

The NETSTAT command can also be entered through TSO.
Be aware with this option that the tcpaccess.LINK must be in front of IBM's SEZALOAD in your logon concatenation or the LINKLIST or you will get IBM's NETSTAT command.
For a full description of all available NETSTAT commands please refer to the CA TCPaccess Communications Server System Management Guide.
