Operating WRKVLDL

If needed, start the HTTP instance WRKVLDL, then on your Internet browser enter the following URL:
http://your_TCP_address:8026/wrkvldl/start

The screen in Figure 5 appears.

Printing a validation list
Type the validation list name and its library name, then press the print button. A print out of the validation list entries is generated in the output queue wrkvldl/wrkvldl and the screen in Figure 6 is displayed.
Note that:

  • For security reasons, the printout is not displayed to the browser.
  • The printout contains just user names and user descriptions, not the user passwords.
  • Command WRKVLDL/PRINTVLDL is used to print the entries of a validation list.

Working with validation list entries
If, after entering the validation list name and its library name, you press the work with button, the screen in Figure 7 appears.

Figure 8 - Adding an entry
  • The small house button takes you back to the screen in Figure 5.
  • Each radio button, when clicked, displays some controls on its right side, see for instance Figure 8.

Add an entry
See Figure 8. All the input fields are required, except the last one (Description) that may be left blank.
A feedback messages informs about the result from this request..

Reset an entry
If an user no longer recalls her/his password, the only way left to the security administrator is to reset the password (see Figure 9). By doing this, the system assigns a new password to the user name (see Figure 10). Then the security administrator either communicates that password to the user, or takes the Update option and changes the password according the the user's will.

Using command WRKVLDL from a green screen terminal

Command wrkvldl/wrkvldl allows to maintain a validation list from a 5250 green screen terminal, in a similar way as it done in the WEB CGI utility.
