Starting the PORTMAP address space
There are two ways to start the portmapper as a z/OS® UNIX socket application:
- From the z/OS shell
- As a started task
To start the portmapper from the z/OS shell, the user ID must be an authorized superuser. The authorized superuser ID can issue oportmap & to start the portmapper. For the authorization procedure, see z/OS UNIX System Services Planning.
You can also start PORTMAP as a started task with the START command
as follows:
START PORTMAP
Note: If your system is using the Network File System (NFS) server,
see z/OS Network File System Guide and Reference for more information.
