Supported Communication Methods

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS clients can communicate with the platform server started tasks through three ways: Cross Memory Services, SNA LU6.2, and TCP.

Cross Memory Services

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS clients can communicate with the platform server started tasks through cross memory services.

  • Required Parameter

    SERVER: defines the name of the platform server started task.

  • Optional Parameter

    No optional parameter is required.

  • Example

    // EXEC PGM=OSIUB000,PARM='SERVER=FUSION'

SNA LU6.2

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS clients can communicate with the platform server started tasks through SNA LU6.2.

  • Required Parameters

    • SERVLUNAME: defines an APPLID of the platform server. For more information, see "Defining VTAM Resources for Systems Using SNA" in TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operation Guide.
    • ACBNAME: defines the name of the platform server client ACB (Access Control Block) defined to VTAM. For more information, see "Defining VTAM Resources for Systems Using SNA" in TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operation Guide.
      Note: Only the prefix of the name, without the two-character numeric suffix, should be specified.
  • Optional Parameter

    MODENAME: defines the name of the SNA mode with which the session should be established.

  • Example

    //STEP0001 EXEC PGM=OSIUB000,PARM='SERVLUNAME=FUSNAPPL,ACBNAME=FUSN'

TCP

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS clients can communicate with the platform server started tasks through TCP.

  • Required Parameters

    • TCPIPJOBNAME: defines the name of the TCP/IP started task.
    • SERVIPNAME or SERVIPADDR: defines the IP name or the IP address of the platform server.

  • Optional Parameter

    SERVIPPORT: defines the IP port that will be used to connect to the platform server. The parameter is set by default to 46464, and it must match the GLOBAL TCPIPPORT parameter.

  • Example 
    //STEP0001 EXEC PGM=OSIUB000, 
//         PARM=('SERVIPADDR=127.127.127.50,',     
//         'TCPIPJOBNAME=TCPIP,SERVIPPORT=2500')
