Monitoring File Transfer Status
Monitoring File Transfer Status
You can monitor file transfers by viewing the File Transfer dialog box,
shown in Figure 5-1, “File Transfer Dialog Box.” Its contents are
described in the following list:
Sess Number
The Session Number, from 1 to 10. All your display
sessions are listed in this box.
Long Name
The unique identifier for each session. For instructions
for changing this option, see “Customizing Display
Sessions”.
Host Session
The name of the host session record in the
configuration file.
Status
Indicates whether the session is ready to communicate
with the host or is already communicating. To transfer
files on a session, you must be logged on to the host.
The following list explains the possible session status
messages.
Disabled
The session is not communicating with TCP/IP. You
must enable a session before using it to perform file
transfer.
Enabled nnn
The session is initializing communications with
TCP/IP.The variable nnn is the communications check
code, displayed as -+z_nnn on the status line of the
3270 session. The code indicates why the TN3270
emulation program has not yet established
communications with the host. Appendix B, “Status
Line Information,” explains communications check
codes.
The status may also appear as Enabled without a
communications check code for a few seconds before it
changes to SSCP.
