where:

vNYX1 represents the PU name of server involved

vIBMRDB represents the name of VTAM logon mode

v150 represents the maximum number of conversations

vY represents the number of sessions preallocated at startup. This can also be left as N, or blank (the default) for deferred at startup.

Con®guring TCP/IP for DB2 Universal Database for OS/390

This section describes how to con®gure TCP/IP communications between your DB2 Connect workstation and DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Version 5.1 or later. It assumes that:

vYou are connecting to a single host database via TCP/IP. Multiple host connections will be handled in exactly the same way, although the port number and service number required in each case may be different.

vThe target database resides on DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Version 5.1 or later.

vAll the necessary software prerequisites are installed.

vDB2 clients have been set up as required.

Prerequisite OS/390 Software for TCP/IP Support

OS/390 R3+ is the minimum operating system level required for TCP/IP support. OS/390 V2R5+ is the recommended operating system level, and the best performer.

The following informational APARS for DB2 for OS/390 are regularly updated with information about PTFs to install for various OS/390 components, particularly TCP/IP for OS/390. If you use TCP/IP connectivity with DB2 for OS/390 it is extremely important that you review and apply PTFs and APAR ®xes described in the following DB2 for OS/390 information APARs:

vII11164

vII11263
