What You Can Do

If you have Modify permission level or higher you can:

• Edit the attributes of a service
• Switch logging on or off for a service. When logging is on, the service's request and result blocks are written to the enterprise server's dump data set
• Change the status of a service between available and disabled

If you have Add/Delete permission level or higher you can also:

• Add a service
• Delete a simple service or operation
• Delete a service with operations. When you delete a service with operations you delete all the operations associated with it. You can also delete the packages associated with it

A newly created communications process starts immediately if you checked Auto-start on the Copy page; otherwise you can start it by clicking the process's Start button on the Communications Process and Listeners page. Communications processes with Auto-start enabled also start automatically when the enterprise server starts.

When you first add a service listener, you can set its status to "Blocked", "Disabled" or "Stopped". Use the Edit Listener page to set its status to "Started". Listener statuses are described in detail in the context help.
