FAQPage Schema

How do I execute IBM i CL commands remotely without direct terminal access?▼

You can execute IBM i CL commands remotely over SSH using the PASE system utility. This approach enables automated system administration and job monitoring on remote IBM i environments without requiring a direct terminal session.

Can I automate IBM i system administration tasks via SSH?▼

Yes, automating IBM i system administration via SSH is supported. By running CL commands through the PASE environment, you can securely manage configurations, monitor jobs, and perform routine tasks on remote IBM i systems.

Do I need PASE to run CL commands on a remote IBM i system?▼

Yes, the PASE environment must be available on the target IBM i system. The remote execution of CL commands relies on the PASE system utility to facilitate the secure SSH connection and command processing.

What's the best way to check job status on an IBM i subsystem remotely?▼

The best way to check job status remotely is to execute CL commands like WRKACTJOB over SSH. This allows you to monitor specific subsystems, such as QINTER, and retrieve active job information from the remote IBM i system.

Does this remote execution method support changing system settings on IBM i?▼

Yes, it supports changing system settings on IBM i. You can execute configuration management CL commands remotely via SSH to modify system parameters and manage the environment without direct console access.

What limitations exist when running IBM i CL commands through PASE over SSH?▼

This method requires SSH access and an active PASE environment on the target IBM i system. Commands are executed remotely, so any limitations of the PASE system utility or SSH connection restrictions will apply to the remote session.
