Required and Optional Entry Fields for VSAM TCP/IP Server Setup

Group Box | Term | Description
Login | VSAM Server | A symbolic or dotted numeric TCP/IP address, for example: MVS or 123.123.123.123
User ID | Your 1-8 character TSO logon ID. All characters convert from lowercase to uppercase.
Password | Your 1-8 character TSO password. All characters convert from lowercase to uppercase.
Server Type | CICS |
Started Task | Select Started Task.
VSAM Operating System |  | Select OS/390.
Started Task Parameters | Link into Target Load Library | Link into Target Load Library Required for both the CICS and Started Task MVS / OS/390 CONNX installation options. A fully-qualified partitioned data set name into which the CONNX Started Task C++ object code is linked. This can be a new partitioned data set, or an existing PDS. In the current example, the target load library is CONNX.STASK.LOAD.
VOLSER | The DASD volume serial on which the new CONNX load library is created. Specify a VOLSER and a UNIT to create the PDS on a specific volume, or leave both fields blank to accept the system defaults. If linking into an existing PDS, leave the VOLSER and UNIT text boxes blank.
UNIT | The DASD device type (3380, 3390, etc.) of the above VOLSER. Omit if the VOLSER field is blank.
CONNX Server Data Set | CONNX DSN Prefix | CONNX DSN Prefix A one- or multi-part high-level data set prefix, which is used to create the CONNX installation sequential and partitioned data sets on the target host. In the current example, the installation prefix is CONNX.STASK. See the DSN Prefix Data Sets table for a description of the data sets created with this prefix.
VOLSER | Optional: The DASD volume serial on which the CONNX.STASK sequential and partitioned data sets are created.
UNIT | Optional. The DASD device type (3380, 3390, etc.) of the above VOLSER. Omit if the VOLSER field is blank.
VSAM Samples | VSAM Samples Prefix | Required if the Create check box is checked. A one- or multi-part high-level data set name prefix used to create the CONNX sample VSAM, QSAM, and partitioned data sets. Given the default data set profix of CONNX.STASK, the VSAM, QSAM, and partitioned data sets listed in VSAM Objects for CONNX.STASK.SAMPLES are created and loaded with sample data.
VOLSER | Required if the Create check box is checked. The DASD volume serial on which the CONNX.STASK.SAMPLES VSAM, QSAM, and sample partitioned data sets are created.
