Managing service entry points in the IBM i Service Entry Points view

When you set a service entry point from the Remote Systems view, the IBM® i Service Entry Points view automatically opens for you and the service entry point appears in it. If the IBM i Service Entry Points view is not open, you can do one of the following to open it:

• Choose Window > Show View > Other from the main menu bar. In the resulting dialog, choose IBM i > i Service Entry Points and then click OK.
• Right-click a program, service program, module, or procedure in the Remote Systems view and select Service Entry Point > Show View from the pop-up menu.

In the view, service entry points are listed in a table format with the following headings:

• Library: Indicates the library which contains the program in which the service entry point is set.
• Program: Indicates the program name in which the service entry point is set.
• Program Type: Indicates if the program is a program or service program.
• Module: If the service entry point was set on a program module, the module name is listed here.
• Procedure: If the service entry point was set on a procedure, the procedure is listed here.
• User ID: Indicates the user profile whose job will trigger the service entry point.
• Connection: Indicates the IBM i connection from which the service entry point was set.
• Enabled: Indicates if the service entry point is currently enabled or disabled.

You can sort the list of service entry points by clicking on the table column heading that you want to sort by.
