Quick Start


Configuring the Server for TCP/IP Using TCPaccess

Sterling software offers TCPaccess for implementing TCP/IP on MVS. Tivoli Storage Manager supports TCPaccess protocols.

Connectivity Support

TCPaccess V4.1 or later is required to run the TCPaccess protocol on the server.

Consult TCPaccess documentation for specifics on TCPaccess communication hardware requirements.

TCPaccess Communications Setup

Before starting the TSM server, make sure that TCPaccess is started. If TCPaccess is not started, the server attempts to establish contact with TCPaccess every minute. As a result, you do not have to stop and restart the server to establish contact but only start TCPaccess.

The server displays the ANR5092E message after each of the first seven unsuccessful attempts to contact TCPaccess, advising you that contact has not been made. After the seventh attempt, the message is suppressed.

Tivoli Storage Manager Server Setup

Enter the following in the server options file:

You can find the TCPaccess subsystem name specified in the SSN parameter in the TCPaccess startup JCL. The default subsystem name is ACSS. You can find the TCPaccess startup JCL in SYS1.PROCLIB. The TCPaccess subsystem name can be no longer than four characters.

You can obtain your TCP/IP port address from your network administrator. TCPaccess, when installed, comes with a number of predefined ports. Your network administrator can tell you which one has been assigned to the TSM server.

For example, if ACSS is the TCPaccess subsystem name and TCP/IP port 1500 has been assigned to the TSM server, make the following entries in the server options file.

|icsport  1500                                                                   |
