TESTSITE command

Use TESTSITE to verify that the hlq.HOSTS.ADDRINFO and hlq.HOSTS.SITEINFO data sets can correctly resolve the name of a host, gateway, or net.

Requirement: VMCF must be started for the TSO TESTSITE command to be successful because the TSO TESTSITE command uses the Pascal socket API. If VMCF is not started, an ABEND0D6 can occur.

Examples

To test your HOSTS data sets, enter:
TESTSITE
When prompted for a name, enter the host, gateway or net name you want to verify.

When you have checked all the names in question, enter QUIT and press ENTER.

Usage

TESTSITE gets its input from the hlq.HOSTS.ADDRINFO and hlq.HOSTS.SITEINFO data sets, where the HLQ is derived in this order:
  • TSO user ID or the TSO PROFILE PREFIX, if it is different from the userid.
  • The value specified with the DATASETPREFIX statement in PROFILE.TCPIP and TCPIP.DATA.
  • System default.
