Network tools and diagnostic aids

Networking on z/OS

z/OS has a number of tools and diagnostic aids for VTAM and TCP/IP that you should be aware of.

  • Common (z/OS-wide) tools and diagnostic aids
    Some tools and diagnostic aids can be available on, or are utilized by, any z/OS application. Consequently, they are common to both TCP/IP and VTAM.
  • VTAM tools and diagnostic aids
    Tools and diagnostic aids used for VTAM only include First Failure Support Technology (FFST) dumps, VTAM CSDUMPs, Network traces, Sense codes, VTAM traces, VTAM DISPLAY commands, and the generalized trace facility.
  • TCP/IP tools and diagnostic aids
    In addition to abnormal end dumps, TCP/IP has various tools and diagnostic aids for problem source identification.
