PC*MILER-AS/400 MVS User’s Guide 81
To get the AS/400 mileage server screen, you can click on SRV32 on your tool
bar. You can also press and hold down the ALT key, and press and release the
TAB key until the AS/400 Server – PC*MILER icon is selected, and then release
both keys. To bring up the Server Log, click on the mileage server window’s
pull-down menu, or press ALT-W and choose Display server Log.
From a green screen on another PC or terminal, run PC*MILER and run a route
from 10001 to 90009 to make sure that it is working. Watch the PC*MILER
AS/400 Server’s server log. You should see those ZIP codes show up in a line
that starts out “input=…” This test is to ensure that you are working with the
correct mileage server, and that it is working properly.
Now exit the green screen PC*MILER and send a 60-second sleep command:
Call queue<space>(‘SP60’) press <ENTER>.
Watch the server log to see that it catches the sleep message. Also watch in the
Midrange Work Space that the number of conversations drops to zero. Finally,
the mileage server should wake up and reconnect with the mileage server; the
number of conversations in the Midrange Work Space should go up to 2.
Now go back to the green screen PC*MILER and send another mileage request to
test that the re-established connection is working properly. If it is working now,
you can use this feature before your ipl’s or power downs.
Be sure to put it to sleep for a long enough period of time. If the mileage server
wakes up too early (before the AS/400 is back up) it won’t be able to connect. Be
sure to leave enough time between sending the sleep command and starting the ipl
or power down. The mileage server needs time to disconnect the router before the
router senses the AS/400 dropping out or the process fails.
