Configuration overview

To configure the z/Server feature with a minimum of customization, use the following guidelines:

1. Define the necessary started tasks:
   • A z/Server scheduler address space
   • User server address spaces (batch TSO address space)
2. Optional: Define a logon procedure for user servers as CEA-launched TSO address spaces.
3. Before z/Server address spaces can be started, you must customize a minimum configuration that consists of:
   • The MFA Server holder task configuration:
     • Specify the SVC number (default 238)
     • Specify the data space token (default TAURSERV)
     • Specify the name of the IP stack used for processing (default TCPIP)
   • The scheduler configuration:
     • Specify the general listener port (default 1200)
     • Specify the user server port range (default 1201-1249)
     • Specify the name of the user server started tasks (default IVPUSRT)
   • Optional: For CEA scheduler support:
     • Specify the name of the logon procedure (default CEAPROC)
     • Specify the name of the initial command REXX procedure (default ZCEAICMD)
4. Issue a command to MFA to start the z/Server holder, which in turn will start the scheduler address space(s).
5. Run the installation verification procedure hlq.ZSERVER.JCL(IVPVERI) for scheduler.
6. Run the TAU REXX procedure to verify user server startup. This is limited to support of port numbers up to a length of four characters.
7. Edit the master model configuration file hlq.ZSERVER.MASTER:
   • Enter a unique system name after "System:", for example, LPAR1.
   • Customize the dataset names pointing to the models after "Conf:".
8. Edit the REXX procedure hlq.ZSERVER.EXEC(TAUZCAPP) and specify the correct name of the master model configuration file hlq.ZSERVER.MASTER after "sysdsn=".
