My Network

My Network gives you an overall look at the health of the network set up in Robot Network. It shows the IBM i systems that HelpSystems Insite is connected to. By default, the hosts are sorted by the severity of statuses, with the host having the greatest number of the most severe statuses appearing at the top of the list. The total number of statuses for each host, node group, and node is also displayed.

In the Navigation Pane, clicktap My Network under the Robot Network menu. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Pane to expand it.

Things to know:

  • The colored icon by each row shows you the highest level of statuses that are waiting: A red icon Icon for Attention statuses means Attention, a yellow one Icon for Warning statuses Warning, and a blue one Icon for Informational statuses Informational. A green icon The green circle icon means that there are zero statuses waiting.

  • A gray icon Gray icon indicating a host or node is offline. indicates that the IBM i system has been disconnected (offline).

  • The total number of statuses shown for a host may be more than the total of the statuses for its nodes if there are any NETHOST statuses on the host.

  • If a host system is currently not running (stopped), but its IBM i connection is available, the last available status numbers for its nodes is displayed. However, if the nodes have an alternate host that is running, they will display under that host.

  • If a host system isn't available at all (either disconnected or offline for some other reason), it's listed as offline, and no information about its nodes is displayed.
