Adding an Internet server application

Use the ZINET ADD command to add an Internet server application to the IDCF. Some of the parameters for this command are discussed in Internet server application.

After adding an Internet server application, enter the ZINET START command so that the Internet Daemon starts an Internet Daemon listener to listen on the specified port for your Internet server application. If you specified that listening is automatic for your Internet server application, you do not have to enter the ZINET START command for the Internet server application.

For every Internet server application that you add to the IDCF, ensure that the program specified by the PGM parameter in the ZINET ADD command is loaded.

For the WAIT, NOWAIT, AOA, AOA2, SSL, and AOR process models, if you want to run the same Internet server application on multiple subsystems, you must do one of the following:
  • Activate one Internet server application at a time
  • Use a different Internet Protocol (IP) address or port number for each subsystem.
TCP/IP allows only one socket to be bound to a specific port number for an IP address. If you define an Internet server application with IP=ANY and you want to activate the application on multiple subsystems concurrently, you must define the Internet server application with a different port number in each subsystem.

See z/TPF Operations for more information about the ZINET ADD and ZINET START commands and for restrictions on their use.
