Managing the TCP/IP server

The DRDA and DDM TCP/IP server does not typically require any changes to your existing system configuration. At some time, you might want to change the way the system manages the server jobs to better meet your needs, to solve a problem, to improve the system performance, or to look at the jobs on the system.

To make such changes and meet your processing requirements, you need to know which objects affect which pieces of the system and how to change those objects. This topic collection describes how to manage the DRDA and DDM server jobs that communicate by using sockets over TCP. It describes the subsystem in which the system runs, the objects that affect the system, and how to manage those resources.

To fully understand how to manage your IBM® i product, it is suggested that you carefully review the Work management topic collection before you continue with this topic collection. This topic collection describes, at a high level, some of the work management concepts that you need to understand to work with the server jobs, and how the concepts and objects relate to the system. This topic collection then shows you how the TCP/IP server can be managed and how they fit in with the rest of the system.
