3. If the local user has control, do the following:
|
|
a. (Optional) Send a message to the local console explaining why you need to have control.
|
Important: It is not necessary to send a message before requesting control.
|
b. From the Connection menu, click Request Control.
If the local user grants control to the remote console, the remote control panel becomes functional
|
(if installed and configured at the local console) and the console appears. If the local user refuses
|
|
control to the remote console, a window appears indicating the refusal.
Release control at the remote console: Releasing iSeries control at the remote console allows control to
|
|
go back to the state that the local console was in when the first remote console requested control. For
|
example, if the local console granted control to the first requesting remote console, releasing control at the
remote console allows the local console to regain control. However, if control was automatically granted
|
|
to the first requesting remote console, releasing control at the remote console allows the next requester to
automatically be granted control.
|
|
To release control at the remote console, do the following:
|
1. Select the configuration name from the Operations Console Connection Window.
2. From the Connection menu, click Release Control.
|
The remote control panel window (if present) and the console close.
|
|
After you release control at the remote console, you can do the following:
|
v Display the remote control panel in read-only mode. To display it, follow these steps:
1. Select the configuration name.
|
2. From the Connection menu, click Remote Control Panel.
|
v End the remote console connection to the local console. To end the connection, follow these steps:
|
|
1. Select the configuration name.
|
2. From the Connection menu, click Disconnect. The connection status shows Disconnecting.
3. Wait until the status shows Not connected to local console.
|
Send a message to a controlling local console or remote console: While using Operations Console, you
|
|
may need to communicate with the user who has iSeries control. Operations Console allows a local
console and a remote console to exchange messages when connected. Only the user that does not have
|
control can initiate a message.
|
Perform the following steps to send a message to the user who has control:
|
1. Select the configuration name from the Operations Console Connection Window.
|
|
2. From the Connection menu, click Send Message.
|
3. Type the message.
4. Click Send.
