Listener Display Filters

  Use this group of fields to apply filters to the list of listeners so that you can just view a subset.

  Note: It is possible to specify filters such that no information is displayed.

  Top

Process

  Choose an option for filtering by communications process:

  All | To list all service listeners regardless of communications process
  None | To list no service listeners
  | To list just the service listeners that belong to communications process

  Top

Conversation Type (filter)

  Choose an option for filtering by conversation type:

  All | To list all service listeners regardless of conversation type
  Custom | To list service listeners with a custom conversation type
  Web Services and J2EE | To list Web Services and J2EE service listeners
  Web | To list Web service listeners
  Fileshare | To list Fileshare service listeners
  TN3270 | To list service listeners for TN3270 clients (MTO only)
  MTO ISC | To list service listeners for MTO Intersystem Communication

Status

  Choose an option for filtering by status:

  All | To list all service listeners regardless of status
  | To list service listeners with the status status-type, where status-type can be one of: Started Stopped Disabled Blocked Not Responding; this means any listener whose status is unknown because the server it is registered with is not responding to the server monitor Not Started; this means any listener with a status other than Started Not Stopped; this means any listener with a status other than Stopped

Auto-start

  Check this to indicate that this communications process is started automatically when the enterprise server starts.

  Top

Statistics

  Click this to see detailed information about the listener activity on this enterprise server. The information is shown in a new window. You can click this only if the enterprise server is started.

  Top

Change

  Changes into Stop or Start when the enterprise server is started.

  Top

Stop

  Click this to stop the communications process and all its listeners. You can click this only if the enterprise server is started, the communications process is started, and this communications process is not Communications Process 1.

  Top

Start

  Click this to start the communications process and all its listeners. You can click this only if the enterprise server is started, the communications process is not started, and this communications process is not Communications Process 1.

  Top

Copy

  Click this to create a new communications process by copying this one.

  Top

Delete

  Click this to delete this communications process. If a server only has one communications process you cannot delete it.

  Top

Edit (communications process)

  Click this to edit configurable settings for this communications process.

  Top

Listeners

  Shows the number of listeners owned by this communications process.

  Top

Add

  Click this to add a new listener.

  Top

Process ID

  Shows the process ID of this communications process.

  Top

Control Channel Address

  Shows the internal address used by the communications process for communicating with other components of the enterprise server. The format is:

  protocol:ip-address:port

  where:

  - protocol is tcp.
  - ip-address is either the text host name or IP address of the communications process. An asterisk (*) indicates that the address is dynamically assigned for the communications process when it starts.
  - port is the port value. An asterisk (*) indicates that the port is dynamically assigned for the communications process when it starts.

  Under the network address is the DNS-resolved TCP/IP hostname.

  Top

Status (communications process)

  Shows the current status of the communications process. The possible statuses are:

  Not responding | The communications process status is unknown because the server it is registered with is not responding to the server monitor.
  Started | The communications process is running.
  Stopped | The communications process is stopped.

  Top

Last Status Change (communications process)

  Shows the time that the communications process's current status was last updated; this time is local to the machine where the Directory Server is running.

  Top

Status Log (communications process)

  Shows information about the most recent event that occurred on this communications process.

  Top

Version

  Shows the version string of the communications process. This consists of three elements in decreasing order of significance: major version, minor version, build version. This can be used to distinguish between communications processes of the same name.

  Top

Edit (listener)

  Click this to edit configurable settings for this listener.

  Top

Name

  Shows the name of the service listener.

  Top

Address

  Shows the network address used by the listener to accept incoming client requests. The format is:

  protocol:ip-address:port

  where:

  - protocol is tcp.
  - ip-address is either the text host name or IP address of the server listener. An asterisk (*) indicates that the address is dynamically assigned for the listener when it starts.
  - port is the port value. An asterisk (*) indicates that the port is dynamically assigned for the listener when it starts.

  Under the network address is the DNS-resolved TCP/IP hostname.

  Top

Status (listener)

  Shows the current status of the service listener. The possible statuses are:

  Blocked | The listener is started when the server starts, but it does not accept client requests.
  Disabled | The listener is stopped and is therefore not available to any client
  Invalid | An error has occurred such that it has not been possible to set the status to any other value
  Not responding | The listener status is unknown because the server it is registered with is not responding to the server monitor
  Started | The server listener is running.
  Stopped | The listener is stopped.
  Start Pending | The SSL-enabled communications process is waiting for you to enter a password to give access to its private key. Less commonly, a password may also be required to give access to its certificate. To do this, click Authorize. On the page that appears in a second browser, enter the password (leave the certificate password blank unless it's required) and click Set Passphrases. Then close that browser.

  Top

Last Status Change (listener)

  Shows the time that the listener's current status was last updated; this time is local to the machine where the Directory Server is running.

  Top

Status Log (listener)

  Shows information about the most recent event that occurred on this listener.

  Top

Conversation Type

  Shows the conversation type of the listener.

Custom Configuration Data

  Shows optional textual configuration information that determines the start-up and run-time behavior of the listener. For details of the entries, see the section Configuration Information in the chapter Communications Processes and Service Listeners in your Configuration and Administration Guide.
