Adding a CONNX VSAM Database CDD Entry Manually
In CONNX, a VSAM database represents a collection of VSAM data sets on a given server. With the CONNX Add Database Connection feature, you can manually create new database connections to VSAM servers on a given port. After the database has been created, you can use the CONNX Import button in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window to add tables to the database, or you can manually create new table entries.
1. Click Tools -> Add Database Connection in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window.
2. Enter a unique name in the Database Name text box.
3. Select VSAM from the Database Type list box.
4. Select VSAM as the type of data file to create in the Database Type text box.
5. Type the symbolic or numeric TCP/IP address in the Server Name text box. Click the OK button.
6. The CONNX Database Logon dialog box appears with the default TCP/IP port number. You can change the TCP/IP address and the port number by entering the information in the Server Name and TCPIP Port text boxes.
7. Type a CICS user name in the User Name text box.
8. Type a CICS password in the Password text box. Click the OK button.
