Resolving symbolic IP addresses

Resolving symbolic IP addresses

Overview

You can use option 4.2.2 to find out how symbolic IP addresses (canonical notation) are resolved. Name resolution is handled by the resolver of the z/OS system, for example, according to definitions in TCPIP.DATA.

Procedure

1. In the "Service Manager Selection Menu", enter 4.2 to call the "OCF Application Control" selection menu:

   PEB4OCF ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Option ===> __________________________________________________________________
   
   OCF Application Control Subsys-ID – Q93V
   Sysname - BETA
   
   1 LU 6.2 - Control LU 6.2 Applications
   
   2 TCP/IP - Control TCP/IP Applications
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Select one of the above options. Press END to return to the previous menu.
   
   

2. Select option 2 to call the "TCP/IP Application Control" input panel.
3. In the Action field, specify R for Resolve and type the symbolic IP address (canonical notation) in the IP‑Address field.
