How the system runs an ObjectConnect command

When you issue an ObjectConnect command, the system starts an ObjectConnect job and establishes a conversation with the target system.

Figure 1 shows the flow of the job:

Figure 1. ObjectConnect job flow

You can view the ObjectConnect job by working with the subsystem. Type WRKACTJOB SBS(QCMN) if your systems are linked with communications support. Type WRKACTJOB SBS(QSOC) if your systems are linked with OptiConnect. You are shown the Work with Active Jobs display:

You can use the Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command to see the activity on the communications or local area network (LAN) link:
