The IBM VSE target system must be configured to support TCP/IP communications software from either CSI international, or from IBM. Refer to the following links:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zvse/products/tcpip.html
CONNX for VSAM-VSE also supports the Barnard Software, Inc. TCP/IP connectivity stack. Refer to the following link for more information:
For VSE installations, the only other setup step required is to concatenate the VSE TCP/IP library to the target CICS partition LIBDEF search list. For example, given the default VSE TCP/IP, CONNX and IBM Language Environment library names:
// LIBDEF *,SEARCH=(CNXVVRR.RUNLIB, X
PRD2.TCPIP, X
PRD2.CONFIG,PRD1.BASED,PRD1.BASE,PRD2.PROD, X
PRD2.SCEECICD,PRD2.SCEECICS,PRD2.SCEEBASD, X
PRD2.SCEEBASE,PRD2.DBASE),PERM
Before you install CONNX on your VSAM server, we recommend that you verify the TCP/IP connectivity to your VSE system. To verify connectivity:
Open a Command Prompt window.
On the task bar, click Start and then click Run
Type or select:
ping hostname
where hostname is the TCP/IP symbolic address or dotted numeric address.
A successful ping (connectivity) will generate output in the command window similar to the following:
