When you install the MVS part of a cooperative application, you have different considerations depending on whether the MVS TP initiates an outbound conversation or responds to an inbound conversation request. In either situation, it is advisable to install the application first on a test system. After the application is running on the test system, you can add the security requirements. For information about security, see Setting up Network Security.

In addition to security considerations, you should also consider authorization. For the installation to work properly, your system should have an APF-authorized miglib data set in the LNKLST concatenation. If necessary, refer to z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Referencefor information about APF authorization for LNKLST data sets.

This chapter describes the basic install requirements for an outbound request and for an inbound request; each description refers to other chapters for more detail.

SYS1.SAMPLIB contains examples showing how to install and run APPC applications. The examples are contained in the SYS1.SAMPLIB members whose names begin with ATBCA and ATBLA. See the ATBALL member of SYS1.SAMPLIB for descriptions of the examples.
