This section describes z/OS® data sets that you need to define or modify for z/OS V2R1 Communications Server. Table 1 shows the z/OS data sets that contain information for z/OS V2R1 Communications Server, and Table 2 shows the z/OS data sets that contain information for both VTAM and NCP.
Enterprise Extender requires IP data set definitions in addition to the SNA data sets. See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information.

Table 2 shows the z/OS data sets that contain VTAM information and NCP information if there is an NCP owned by that VTAM.
| Name of data set | Contents | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| SYS1.ASAMPLIB | Sample of network operator command table and sample JCL for installation | Required for installation. Provided by IBM®. |
| SYS1.SAMPLIB | Alterable copy of sample network operator command table, sample JCL for installation, and command lists for dynamic I/O | Required for installation. Provided by IBM. |
| SYS1.SSPLIB | NCP loader utility program | Required; added when NCP is installed. See SYS1.SSPLIB for information on SYS1.SSPLIB requirements. |

|
Only z/OS Communications Server load modules are required. Must be listed in an IEAAPFxx parmlib member. |
| SYS1.VTAMLST | z/OS Communications Server definition statements and start options | Required; created by user before starting z/OS Communications Server. You can modify this data set, but you need to be very careful about the relationship between z/OS Communications Server and NCP definition statements. For example, changing a VTAMLST member without changing a corresponding NCP definition statement can cause serious errors that are difficult to diagnose. |
