About this task
The following is a list of the tasks necessary to setup a CICS BAC communication
server:
- Customize the sample communication server started
task procedure
- Ensure that your SCBKLOAD data set and SDFHEXCI data set are APF-authorized
or are included in the linklist concatenation if you want the communication
server to perform security checking for workstation requests.
- Ensure the CBKCFTBL member is available in either the CBKPARMS
data set, or a data set in the MVS™ logical
parmlib concatenation. For information about defining the CICS BAC control
file table, see The control file table.
- Specify the runtime parameters if you want other than
the default values (see Communication server runtime parameters).
- Ensure the parameters that the communication server needs are
provided in the CBKSRVR member in the CBKPARMS data set, or another
parmlib data set in the MVS logical parmlib concatenation.
- Ensure that the communication server ID (that is, the user ID
that the server runs under) is authorized to access TCP/IP services.
If the server ID is not authorized to your external security manager,
the communication server startup fails.
- Start the communication server started task or job.
You will find a sample JCL member called CBKCSRVR, in
the CBKSAMP library, that you can use to create your startup procedure
.
