KDS_TEMS_TCP_KDEB_INTERFACELIST

Edit online

This parameter specifies a list of network interfaces for the monitoring server to use for IPv4 communication.

Description
This parameter specifies one or more network interfaces for the monitoring server to use for IPv4 communication.
Note: To modify this parameter value using Configuration Manager, use parameter RTE_TCP_KDEB_INTERFACELIST, which sets the same value for the monitoring server and the monitoring agents.

If the z/OS® image has more than one TCP/IP interface or network adapter, you can use this parameter to direct the monitoring server to connect to a specific TCP/IP local interface.

To set a network interface list, supply one of the following values:

  • The hostname or dotted-decimal IPv4 address of the preferred interface.
  • A list of hostnames or dotted-decimal IPv4 addresses, in descending order of preference. Use a blank (space) to separate the entries.
  • An asterisk (*) to prefer the interface associated with the default hostname for the z/OS image. To display this value, enter TSO HOMETEST at the command line.
  • An exclamation point followed by an asterisk (!*) to use only the interface associated with the default hostname for the z/OS image.
  • An exclamation point followed by a hostname or dotted-decimal IPv4 address (!hostname) to use only the interface associated with hostname.

    If you set the value of this parameter to !* or !hostname, you must specify the same value for every component and product configured in all runtime environments on the same z/OS image.

    For a high-availability hub, specify the value of this parameter as !dvipa, where dvipa is the private dynamic virtual IP address (DVIPA) set for the KDS_TEMS_TCP_HOST parameter.

Note: In the default character set (LANG=en_US.ibm-037), the code for an exclamation point is x'5A'. If you are using a character set other than the default, a different character might map to that code. To require a specific network interface, use the character that maps to x'5A' in your character set.
