Configuring the IPCONN on CICS TS

You must define the IPCONN for the incoming IPIC connection. This example implements both link security and user security.

1. Use CEDA to define an IPCONN. These values are important:

   APplid

   Set this value to match the APPLID specified in the ctg.ini file.

   Networkid

   Set this value to match the APPLIDQUALIFIER specified in the ctg.ini file.

   TCPIPService

   Set this value to match the name of the TCPIPService defined earlier.

   Receivecount

   Set this value to specify the number of parallel IPCONN sessions.

   SENdcount

   Set this value to zero because IPIC connections are always inbound to CICS® TS from CICS TG.

   Inservice

   Set this value to Yes.

   Linkauth

   Set this value to Secuser.

   SECurityname

   Set this value to an authorized RACF® user ID. The user ID must be in a RACF group that is authorized to establish IPIC connections.

   Userauth

   Set this value to Verify.

   Leave all the other values to default.

   This panel is an example of an IPCONN definition defined using the CEDA transaction:

         RECOVERY

2. Install the IPCONN definition and check that the output from the CEMT INQ IPCONN(IPC50889) command identifies it as INService RELeased.
