Configuring VMCF and TNF as restartable subsystems has the following
advantages:
- Error detection is provided when the subsystems do not seem to
be initializing properly.
- You can change the system name on the restart.
- Commands are available to remove users from internal tables, display
current users and to terminate the subsystem.
In summary, a restartable VMCF and TNF configuration provides
better availability and is therefore recommended.
If you choose to use restartable VMCF and TNF, follow these steps:
- Update your IEFSSNxx member
in SYS1.PARMLIB with the TNF and VMCF subsystem statements required
by TCP/IP. The specification can be in either the IBM® recommended keyword parameter form or the
positional parameter form of IEFSSNxx. For example:
* The keyword parameter form is:
SUBSYS SUBNAME(TNF)
SUBSYS SUBNAME(VMCF)
* The positional parameter form is:
TNF
VMCF
- Add procedure EZAZSSI to your system
PROCLIB. A sample of this procedure is located in the SEZAINST library.
//EZAZSSI PROC P=&SYSNAME.
//STARTVT EXEC PGM=EZAZSSI,PARM=&P,TIME=1440
- Start VMCF and TNF using the procedure EZAZSSI before starting
TCP/IP. If your node name is the same as the MVS™ system symbolic &SYSNAME, then you can
start VMCF and TNF with the following command:
S EZAZSSI
If
your node name is different than the MVS system
symbolic &SYSNAME, start VMCF and TNF with the following command:
S EZAZSSI,P=nodename
Replace nodename with
the system name of your MVS system.
If you use SMTP, verify that the SMTP NJE node name is specified by
using the NJENODENAME statement in the SMTP configuration data set.
