Verifying the PM iSeries data number

 

If your server is using a direct dial connection to IBM® , verify that the PM iSeries™ telephone number is correct. The telephone number must also contain the correct prefixes for your line.

This is for SNA transmissions only.

To check the format of the telephone number of the electronic customer support line, do the following steps:

  1. Type 
    DSPDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QESTELE)
    and press Enter.
  2. Determine the connection number prefix found in offset 0. For example, if offset 0 is 'T9:1800xxxxxxx' the prefix is T9:.

  3. Type 
    DSPDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/Q1PGTELE)
    and press Enter.

  4. Offset 0 (zero) is the dialing string that will be used. (The other numbers will not be used.)

  5. If you use your ECS line to order PTFs, you can compare the format in offset 0 (zero) to the format used for the ECS line, CALL QESPHONE, make a note of the string being used, and compare it to the value found in step 2.

    The telephone numbers will be different but the prefix should be the same (that is, SST9:1800..., SST:1800...and so forth).

If you need to change your telephone number, use the Change Data Area (CHGDTAARA) command:

Type CHGDTAARA, where DTAARA is Q1PGTELE, LIB is QUSRSYS, the substring starting position is *ALL, and the New value is 'SST:18005475497'

The new value should be your dialing prefix, followed by 18005475497 for U.S.A and Canada.

Now that you have completed your PM iSeries configuration, see manage PM iSeries for the tasks that you can perform.
