Installation
Installing CONNX Components on Target z/OS System
1. Run CONNX Server Setup.
2. In the CONNX Server Component Installation dialog box, select the z/OS tab. Select the VSAM option in the Product area. Select Started Task in the Server Type area.
3. In the Login Information area, enter the TCP/IP symbolic host name or dotted numeric address for your z/OS server in the Server text box, a TSO user ID in the User ID text box and its password in the Password text box.
4. In the TCP/IP area, enter the dataset name of the TCP/IP stack in the HLQ text box and the TCP/IP library name in the Library text box. The TCP/IP library is the location of the object EZALBADM. The default library name on z/OS versions 1.5 and newer is SEZALNK2. On older systems, the default library name is SEZALINK.
5. In the CONNX Server Data Set area, enter the data set name of the CONNX server component location (where CONNX for VSAM will be installed on the mainframe) in the CONNX DSN HQL text box, its VOLSER in the VOLSER text box, and its DASD device type in the UNIT text box. If SMS is installed on the CONNX server system, select the SMS check box.
6. In the Load Library Parameters area, enter the dataset name of the link step output files in the Load Library DSN text box. If SMS is enabled, select the SMS checkbox, otherwise enter the VOLSER in the VOLSER text box, and the DASD device type in the UNIT text box.
7. In the VSAM Samples area, select Create if you want to create VSAM sample files. Enter the data set name of the CONNX sample file location in Database HLQ and its VOLSER in the VOLSER text boxes. If the data set prefix is CONNX.STASK, this will create the VSAM, QSAM, and partitioned data sets listed in VSAM Objects for CONNX.STASK.SAMPLES and load them with sample data.
If you do not want sample files, clear the Create check box.
8. In the FTP Mode area, enter the FTP mode that is appropriate for your FTP server. If the host cannot be accessed via FTP, select Manual Copy. Manual Copy creates a local copy of the files that need to be transferred along with a text file with instructions.
9. Click Install.
This action starts an FTP session and copies the selected components from the client PC to the target host.
Close the CONNX Server Component Installation dialog box.
