Working with systems

 

You can use iSeries™ Navigator for Wireless to view system properties and customize which systems are displayed.

To view your systems, select the Systems link. Any systems that are not available are listed in a bold font and marked by an explanation point. By default, the Systems link displays all of the systems to which you are authorized.

Each system is also a link. Select a system to view the system properties and all the active Integrated xSeries® Servers on that system. If no Integrated xSeries Servers are active on that system, only the system properties link appears. To see the properties of an active Integrated xSeries Server, click Integrated Servers and your server.

You can customize your system list. You can add and remove systems from your system list, create a default system list, or create system lists for specific users.

 

Adding and removing systems from your list

  1. Go to the menu, and select Add System or Remove System.

  2. Select the system to add or remove.

Because adding systems to your list can be cumbersome, administrators can create a default system list that becomes the default list for any user. The user can then customize that list to their own liking. This feature can be useful if a group of users is interested in data stored on the same five to ten systems.

 

Creating a default system list

In the following directory, create the following file:

Directory: QIBM/UserData/OS400/MGTC/Pervasive/

File: QYPV_SYSTEMS.txt

After you have created this file, add all the systems that you want to include in your default list on one line, separated by a comma. You can also create a system list for a specific user by creating the file QYPV xxxxx.txt, where xxxxx is the user profile name.
