The VM version of IOCP runs under
the control of z/VM.
Beginning with Version 6 of IOCP (APAR VM66549), you must start the VM version of IOCP in the
z/CMS environment. Prior versions of IOCP can be started in the CMS or z/CMS environment. The IOCP
command has options you can use to request the following IOCP functions:
- Generate an IOCDS.
IOCP reads, validates, and checks the syntax
of input statements. It generates an IOCDS based on the configuration
defined in the statements. It produces reports of the IOCDS; and,
when requested, IOCP writes the generated IOCDS to the Support Element
hard disk.
- Produce configuration reports.
IOCP reads one or more IOCDSs
from the Support Element hard disk and prints the IOCP configuration
reports. (See IOCP configuration reports for
examples.)
