Start IBM Connect:Direct
The $CD.SDGAJCL(DGAJCONN) member contains the sample startup job stream to run the IBM® Connect:Direct® DTF as a batch job. It can run as a batch job or as a started task.
If you use Program Access to datasets (PADS) functionality in your security system, include all datasets in the IBM Connect:Direct JCL STEPLIB DD concatenation in your Program Control List (PCL). See Implementing Security in the IBM Connect:Direct for z/OS® Administration Guide for more information.
To start IBM Connect:Direct:
- Execute IBM Connect:Direct from an authorized library. The installation makes the DTF load module (DGADINIT) APF-authorized with AC(1).
- Submit the startup job stream. While Connect:Direct
for z/OS is
initializing, a series of messages display the sequence of events
during initialization. If an initialization error occurs, note the
last message issued. The problem most likely occurred during the step
indicated by the last message or on the step indicated by the next
message that should have been issued. For more information on specific
error messages, see Initialization Errors
Following is an example of messages you may see. The specific startup messages generated when you start Connect:Direct for z/OS depend on the following factors:
- What communication protocols are used in your system
- Whether Connect:Direct Secure Plus is part of your system and the version
- Whether any initialization parameters are being overridden in the startup JCL
- Whether any certificates have expired or will soon expire
Note: The SITA460I and SITA462I messages related to the Strong Password Encryption (SPE) feature are displayed even if no encryption is possible. To determine if this feature is in effect, go to the Secure+ Create/Update Panel - SPE Parameters panel where SPE is enabled.SITA001I IBM Connect:Direct for z/OS initialization has begun.

The IEC161I, 062-086, or 056-084 messages can also display at OPEN of the VSAM files. These messages indicate that the files were not closed properly the last time IBM Connect:Direct was brought down. These are normal VSAM verification messages.
- Log on to TSO again.
After the TSO IUI is installed, log on to TSO again so that your new logon procedure or signon CLIST is in effect. You can then sign on to IBM Connect:Direct through the IUI, Operator Interface, or Batch Interface.
Remember: You can initialize IBM Connect:Direct if SNA support is not available. See Configuring IBM Connect:Direct without SNA Support.
