Editing Mainframe Access Server Definitions

The SERVERS definitions describe both application servers and target servers. Target server definitions provide an ID label and the LU 6.2 parameters needed to contact the server using SNA LU 6.2 protocols. The ID label is used in some client configurations to select a specific target server.

Application servers define address spaces that can be started and controlled by Mainframe Access server. The definition provides a JCL procedure name that can be used to start the address space, a server program name, values that govern the number of address spaces that can be started, etc.

If you will be using CICS Option or IMS Option, you must edit the Mainframe Access sample target server definitions located in member SERVERS to customize them for your system. The application server and target server definitions for the Mainframe Access Data Connect server will need to be edited only if you have changed the JCL procedure name or the VTAM APPL ACBNAME, or if the default logmode name cannot be used. All parameters for one target server should be grouped together following the <…ID…> assignment that starts the definition. The <END> statement is used to end each target server definition. All parameters for one application server should be grouped together following the <ASGROUP…> assignment that starts the definition. The <END> statement is used to end each application server definition.

The sample definitions for target servers that you will not be using can be left as they are and they will not affect the operation of Mainframe Access with target servers that you have customized. For example, if you are not using CICS Option you can leave the sample CICS target server definitions unchanged in the SERVERS member; or you can change each line of the unused definitions to a comment by inserting an asterisk in column 1; or you can delete them altogether.

The sample server definitions are provided here as a convenient reference while you read. Lines that begin with an asterisk are treated as comments and are skipped in processing.
