This chapter describes the installation verification procedure (IVP) you can use to check that the Mainframe Transaction Option software is installed and working properly. The installation verification procedure involves starting an enterprise server and terminal emulation, signing on and running a transaction.
The steps involved in running the installation verification procedure are:
These steps are covered in the following sections.
Unless stated otherwise, the information in the following sections applies whether you are running the installation verification procedure under Enterprise Server for UNIX or Enterprise Server for Windows.
To start Enterprise Server Administration, enter the following commands:
su root cd $COBDIR/bin mfds & exit
then open a Web browser and specify http://host:86, where host is the machine on which Enterprise Server for UNIX is installed.
Note: Once you have entered the su root command, you need to ensure that your Server Express environment variables are still set up, as some UNIX systems lose these environment variables when the su root command is run.
Once you have started Enterprise Server Administration, you need to configure an enterprise server to enable it to run CICS applications and to specify the location of the files it will need.
To configure an enterprise server for use with the installation verification procedure:
Note the use of the slash (\) character to escape the dollar sign.
/opt/lib/cobol/cics/mto-bms
/opt/lib/cobol/cics/mto-bms
/opt/lib/cobol/cics/mto-bms
At this point you have enabled CICS support for this enterprise server and specified the location of the relevant files. The directory names used in the examples above are for illustration only - you should change them to use the directories in which the installation verification procedure files are installed on your system.
Field | Value |
---|---|
Name | tn3270 |
Endpoint address | *.nnnn, where nnnn is between 5000 and 65535. Check with the system administrator to ensure you choose a number that is not used by other applications. |
Supported Conversation Type | Check TN3270 |
Having enabled the enterprise server for CICS applications and specified the location of the files required for the installation verification procedure, the next step is to start the enterprise server.
To start an enterprise server for use with the installation verification procedure:
The value in Current Status changes to "Starting".
The value in Current Status changes to "Started".
Once you have configured and started an enterprise server, you need to start a 3270 emulator from which you can run the installation verification procedure.
To connect to the enterprise server:
Field | Value |
---|---|
Host name | The name of the computer the enterprise server is running on. This is localhost if it is the current machine. |
Port | The number you specified for the field Endpoint address in the section Configuring an Enterprise Server. |
This section describes how to run the installation verification procedure once you have configured and started the enterprise server and connected to it with a 3270 emulator. When you first connect, a 3270 terminal is displayed with a screen prompting you for a USERID and PASSWORD.
To run the installation verification procedure:
