IOAOSASF is a sample JCL procedure that can be used to start the main OSA/SF address space. The sample has a job name of OSASF1.
IOASNMP is a sample JCL procedure that starts the OSA/SF-provided z/OS UNIX socket application that interconnects the TCP/IP subagent with OSASF1.
These sample procedures and all entities that they call are provided with OSA/SF. For a detailed explanation of how to set up OSA/SF on your MVS™ system, see zEnterprise System and System z10 OSA-Express Customer's Guide and Reference. The primary purpose of OSA/SF is to manage OSA Adapters. It has been extended to support OSA management via SNMP. An instance of IOAOSASF, IOASNMP, the TCP/IP stack, the TCP/IP subagent, and the SNMP agent must be started on every MVS image where OSA management support is needed.
The recommended startup order is:
On an MVS image only a single instance of either IOAOSASF or IOASNMP can (or should) be started. An attempt to start multiple copies of IOAOSASF will be rejected. Starting multiple copies of IOASNMP will yield unpredictable results.
Ensure that OSA/SF is at Version 2 Release 1 level or higher with the OSA/SF APAR OW45237 applied.
