Starting or stopping a Sybase listener

Use the Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction window to start or stop the listener. This section describes how to use the Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction window, and how to start and stop a Sybase listener:


Using the Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction window

The Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction window is an interface for the SYCM transaction. To access the SYCM transaction through the Sybase RPC Listener Maintenance Transaction window, use the following procedure.

StepsAccessing SYCM

  1. From a CICS region, type SYCM.

    NoteSYCM is the default transaction name for Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction. It may not be the transaction name at your site.

  2. Press Enter.

    The Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction window appears:

Fields

This table explains the fields on the Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction window:

Field

Description

Action

S—starts a listener.

C—stops a listener (“C” is for cancel).

Listener Transaction

Name of the listener transaction.

Status/Task ID

Status of listener transactions.

A transaction is either active or inactive. If a transaction is active, the transaction ID appears in this column. If it is inactive, INACT appears in this column.

xxxxx—the listener transaction is active, and this is its task ID containing 5 numeric characters.

INACT—the listener transaction is inactive.

TCP Port ID

Name of the port.

PF keys

This table explains the PF keys on the Sybase TCP Listener Maintenance Transaction window:

PF Key

Description

Clear

Exits the SYCM transaction.

F1

Displays help for this window in the two lines above the list of PF keys at the bottom of the window. When you see three plus signs (+++) at the end of a line, press F1 to continue displaying help. When you see (END) at the end of a line, you have reached the end of the help. If you press F1 again, the beginning of the help appears and you can scroll through it again.

F7

Scrolls up the list.

F8

Scrolls down the list.

F9

Resets the display to the current values in the SYRPCFIL file.


Starting a listener

To start a listener, use the following procedure at the Sybase TCP Maintenance Transaction window.

StepsStarting a listener

  1. In the Action field, type S.

  2. Press Enter.

    The listener starts and you see the following message:

    *** Request accepted ***
    

Stopping a listener

To stop a listener, use the following procedure at the Sybase TCP Maintenance Transaction window.

StepsStopping a listener

  1. In the Action field, type C

    where “C” is for cancel.

  2. Press Enter.

    The listener stops and you see the following message:

    *** Request accepted ***
    

Status

To receive an updated status after issuing a start or stop, press Enter repeatedly at the Sybase TCP Maintenance Transaction window to update the status.

NoteThe transaction SYCL, which invokes the SYBCLOS module, can be used to close the TCP/IP listener environment.
