Modifying the Data Virtualization Manager configuration member

Edit online

Configure the z/OS Connect parameters in the AVZSIN00 configuration member. This enables communication between the Data Virtualization Manager server and the z/OS Connect server.

Procedure

Configure the z/OS Connect parameters.

You need to add a DEFINE ZCPATH command which defines the path to the z/OS Connect server. For example:

if DoThis then
   do
      "DEFINE ZCPATH",
      " NAME(your_zconnect_server_name)",
      " RNAME(your_registry_name)",
      " WNAME(your_wola_name)"
  1. Make sure the RNAME matches the registerName in your server.xml file. This is in two locations in the server.xml file and will need to be changed in both.
  2. Make sure the WNAME matches the wolaGroup in your server.xml file.
Parameter Description Valid values
NAME(defname)

This required parameter is used to provide a specific definition name.

 A definition name may be up to 20 characters long, the first character must be alpha or national, and the rest must be alphanumeric or national, and the ‘_’ and ‘.’ are also allowed. The value is always treated as uppercase.
RNAME(register-name) This required parameter is used to supply the register name for the connection to z/OS Connect. The name supplied here must match the RegisterName value on the localAdaptersConnectService description in the z/OS Connect server.xml file. A register name may be up to 12 characters long, and the first character must be alpha or national, and the rest must be alphanumeric or national. The ‘_’ and ‘.’ are also allowed. The value is not treated as uppercase.
Note: WOLA requires that each register name within a region is unique. The Data Virtualization Manager server interface to z/OS Connect ensures that the register name is unique within all connection definitions.
WNAME(WOLA-name) This required parameter is used to supply the first part of the WOLA name for the connection to z/OS Connect. The value may be up to 8 characters long, the first character must be alpha or national, and the rest must be alphanumeric or national. The value is treated as uppercase.

The value supplied here must match the ‘wolaGroup’ parameter of the ‘zosLocalAdapters’ entry in the z/OS Connect server.xml file.
Note: Additional parameters for customizing the connection are described in Data Virtualization Manager configuration member parameters. Contact Technical Support for instructions on how to use these parameters.
