CONNECT THE DWC 9.x TO A z/OS ENVIRONMENT

Troubleshooting


Problem

TO CONNECT THE DWC 9.1; 9.2; 9.3; 9.4  TO A z/OS SERVER,  FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

  •   On z/OS side check for the message EQQPH50I in the server MLOG, the message display the IP address and port used by the server for the TCP/IP communication
  •    On DWC side under the wastools directory (locate under the <ints_dir/wastools run the createzosEngine script in this way

    cretezosEngine -name enginename -portNumber xxxxx -hostName xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where:

-name is the name of the zconnector engine

-hostNmame is the ipaddress of the z/OS LPAR (see meesage EQQPH50I in the server MLOG)

-portNumber is the port used by the server STC on z/OS LPAR (see meesage EQQPH50I in the server MLOG)

  • On DWC side define a new engine, go in the Manage Engine panel, and click NEW;
  • in the engine name field put  a name (it could be the same name defined for the zosconnector Engine);
  • in the ENGINE TYPE field choose z/OS;
  • in the HOSTNAME field leave localhost;
  • in the Port Number field specify the port 16312 (this is the default port, if during the installation has been used a different set of port verify the value by run the showHostProperties; the value is the bootPort 
  • in the USER and PASSWORD field specify your user and password.

  • On the z/OS side, verify the USERMAP table member (it is specified in the SERVOPTS statement) and update it with the following information:
         USER 'user@hostname*'  RACFUSER(USER)
NOTE:
DWC must be at the SAME RELEASE or GREATER compared to zWS controller.
So for for zWS 9.5 the ONLY choice for DWC release is 9.5.
For IWSz 9.3 by the same logic the DWC can be 9.3 or 9.4 or 9.5.
