that has iSeries control and a remote console. It illustrates how control is transferred between the local
|
|
console and the remote console when the remote console requests control.
These interactions show the expected behavior from the local console and remote console users:
|
|
1. The local console user has control of a server. At this time, the local console user must handle all
|
incoming control requests.
2. When a remote console requests control, the local console user decides whether he grants or refuses
|
control to the requester. If the local console user grants control, control is granted to the requester.
|
|
If the local console user refuses control to the requester, the local console user continues to have
control.

Transfer control between a local console not in control and remote consoles
This example shows interactions between a local console directly attached with remote access allowed
|
that does not have iSeries control and remote consoles requesting control. It illustrates how control
|
|
transfer occurs when no user has control and a remote console requests control.
These interactions show the expected behavior from the local console and remote console users:
|
|
v No user has control of a server. Therefore, SERVER appears in the Current User field and incoming
control requests will be automatically granted.
|
v When a remote console requests control, control will be granted to the remote console.

Using the Properties page
The Properties page has been enhanced in V5R3 to include information about the server associated with
the connected configuration. Also, this is where you would make changes to an existing configuration.
The General tab contains information about the server connected to by the associated connection. The
Log directory field shows the path to the Operations Console data logs and is the only field that you can
edit.
The Configuration tab will contain options that actually change what functions are used or how the
configuration connects. Options not available for the associated configuration will be greyed out. The
remote console does not have a Configuration tab. To make changes to the remote console, you must
delete and then recreate the connection.
Note: An initial configuration will configure both the console and remote control panel. This is where
you would turn off one of the functions if you did not want to use it.
The Device ID tab has been changed to allow a single button to reset the service tools device ID
password on the PC. The server's service tools device ID must also be reset separately. The associated
service tools device ID for the configuration cannot be changed using this page. To use a different service
tools device ID you would have to delete this configuration and create a new configuration using the
new device ID.
The Access Password tab is where you can change the access password. The access password is used, in
part, to authenticate the device making the connection.
While in Properties, you can use the ? help for more information. Click on ?, the ? is now attached to
your cursor. Move the ? to the field you want more information on and click again. A context sensitive
help dialog window will appear containing information regarding just that field.
Customizing the Operations Console window
Operations Console has been enhanced to allow the user more flexibility when interacting with
Operations Console and the graphical user interface (GUI) it provides. By using the new features you can
customize the Operations Console window so you can see and interact with the information most
important to you.
