This example shows some of the ways in which you can check the status of a communications link.
From the current view, issue the command CONNECT. The CONNECT view, showing details of all connections in the current scope, is displayed:

Move the cursor to the entry for the connection you’re interested in (in this example, connection 1A1B), and press Enter. The CONNECTD view, showing detailed information for the connection 1A1B, is displayed:

You can narrow down the search with a variety of parameters. If you know the name of the connection, you can use that to qualify the CONNECT view command. For example, CONNECT 1A1B limits the search to connection 1A1B. If you know the name of the connection and of the CICS® system in which it is located, you can go directly to the CONNECTD view. For example, you can issue the command CONNECTD 1A1B CICSPA01 from any view.
