General information

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.)
