Figure 1 shows how the required information is defined and passed from
SIP to the z/TPF online routines through the
various stages. Figure 1. OSTG overview
The SNA network definition process consists of the following steps:
Code the MSGRTA macros in the SIP process for the z/TPF applications that you want to define to the z/TPF system being generated. See z/TPF ACF/SNA Data Communications Reference for information about the applications to
define to the z/TPF system using the OSTG program.
The MSGRTA macros will cause the SIP
process to generate the application name table (ANT) deck that is needed as input to the OSTG program. See ANT deck for
information about the ANT deck.
Code the RSC deck for the CDRM resources and remote LU resources
that you want to define to the z/TPF system being generated.
See z/TPF ACF/SNA Data Communications Reference for
information about the CDRM resources and remote LU resources to define
to the z/TPF system using
the OSTG program.
See RSC deck for information about the
RSC deck.
Code the ALS deck for the channel-attached NCP, CTC, or ALS resources
that you want to define to the z/TPF system being generated.
This includes the resources that will be connected as PU 4 nodes and
the resources that allow the z/TPF system to connect
as a PU 2.1 node.
See z/TPF ACF/SNA Data Communications Reference for information
about the NCP, CTC, and ALS resources to define to the z/TPF system using the OSTG program. See ALS deck for more information about the ALS
deck.
Prepare the JCL to run the OSTG program.
See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for examples of the JCL needed
to run the OSTG program.
Run the OSTG job
step and review the output reports. You may need to run the OSTG program several
times to eliminate all of the errors that can occur when you define
a large network.
After the OSTG program
is run successfully with no errors, load the resulting pilot tape
or GDS to the online z/TPF system.
Perform a soft initial program load (IPL) on the z/TPF system to include
the new SNA network definitions.
