Installing TCP/IP IPCS subcommands by using the panel interface

To use the panel interface to the TCP/IP IPCS subcommands, you can either display the panels using an IPCS command or connect the TCP/IP ISPF panels to an existing ISPF panel. No additional installation steps are required to display the panels using an IPCS command. To connect the TCP/IP ISPF panels to an existing panel, find an existing panel where you wish to add TCP/IP as an option and modify the panel. Modify the panel by adding the TCP/IP option, which processes the following command:

PGM(BLSGSCMD) PARM(%EZBTCPEX) NEWAPPL(EZBD)

where BLSGSCMD is the IPCS command, EZBTCPEX is the TCP/IP REXX exec, and EZBD is the TCP/IP key list prefix.

You can also start the TCPIP panel interface by performing the following steps:

1. Log on to TSO.
2. Access IPCS to display the IPCS Primary Option menu. Figure 1 shows an example of an IPCS Primary Option Menu.
3. Select option 2, "ANALYSIS - Analyze dump contents".
4. Select option 6, "COMPONENT - MVS™ component data".
5. Scroll down to "TCPIP TCP/IP Dump Analysis" and select it.
