Group Box | Term | Description |
Login | CICS/VSAM Server | A symbolic or dotted numeric TCP/IP address, for example: 123.123.123.012 |
User ID | Your 1-8 character z/OS or TSO logon ID. All characters convert from lowercase to uppercase. | |
Password | Your 1-8 character z/OS or TSO password. All characters convert from lowercase to uppercase. | |
Server Type | CICS | The default installation for CONNX for CICSVSAM on z/OS platforms is as a CICS TCP/IP listener and server. |
Started Task | CONNX for VSAM can also be installed and run as one or more started tasks or batch jobs. This version also provies read access to QSAM physical sequential and partitioned data sets. | |
CONNX Server Data Set | 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.CICS. See
CONNX DSN Prefix Data Sets for a description of the data sets created with this prefix. |
VOLSER | Optional. The DASD volume serial on which the CONNX.CICS 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 in the VSAM Samples group box is checked. A one- or multi-part high-level data set prefix, which is used to create the CONNX VSAM sample data sets. See VSAM Objects for CONNX.CICS.SAMPLES and
VSAM Objects for CONNX.STASK.SAMPLES for lists of the sample VSAM files created for the target CIS region(s) or started task(s)/batch jobs. |
VOLSER | Required if the Create check box in the VSAM Samples group box is checked. The DASD volume serial on which the CONNX.CICS.SAMPLES VSAM objects are created. | |
CICS Parameters | CICS Product Load Library | Required for all three CICS installation options. The fully qualified CICS runtime load library partitioned data set name. For example, the CICS Transaction Server 1.3 default load library name is: CICSTS13.CICS.SDFHLOAD Ask your CICS administrator for the fully qualified name of this data set. |
Target RDO/File | Required for all three CICS installation options. The fully qualified name of the target CICS Resource Definition Online VSAM file. For example, the default name for the CICS Transaction Server 1.3 RDO file is: CICSTS13.CICSTS13.DFHCSD | |
Link into Target Load Library | Required for both CONNX installation options. A fully qualified partitioned data set name into which the CONNX CICS/C++ object code is linked. This can be a new partitioned data set, or an existing PDS already defined to the target CICS region in the DFHRPL load list. In the current example, the target load library is CONNX.CICS.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 | Optional. The DASD device type (3380, 3390, etc.) of the above VOLSER. Omit if the VOLSER field is blank. |
