Preparing Your Environment for TPF Application Requester

To install the TPF Application Requester (TPFAR) feature, you must make provisions in the following areas of your system:

Throughout this publication, the DB2 system is used to refer to any remote distributed relational database architecture (DRDA) level-1 compliant relational database.

You must carefully specify the various parameters required for the three different areas of your system when installing the TPFAR feature.

Because of the interdependency of these three areas of your system, certain parameter values specified in one area must be identically specified in other areas. Throughout this section, a parameter value specified in one example is carried forth into another example when the parameters must be identical. For instance, if there is a definition on the TPF system that requires the same value as a definition on the DB2 system, in both of the examples given, the same value is used.

A summary of the various parameters and their location in the system is found in Putting It All Together.

If you are using LU 6.2, many of the requirements for TPFAR are defined by the TPF Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (TPF/APPC) interface. For more information about TPF/APPC, see the TPF ACF/SNA Data Communications Reference.
