Figure 3 shows how the required information
is defined and passed from SIP to the TPF online routines through the various
stages.
Figure 3. OSTG Overview
The SNA network definition process consists of the following steps:
- Code the MSGRTA macros in the SIP process for the TPF applications that
you want to define to the TPF system being generated. See TPF ACF/SNA Data Communications Reference for information
about the applications to define to the TPF system using the OSTG
program.
The MSGRTA macros will cause the SIP process to generate the application
name table (ANT) deck that is needed as input to the OSTG program. See ANT Deck for information about the ANT deck.
- Code the RSC deck for the CDRM resources and remote LU resources that you
want to define to the TPF system being generated.
See TPF ACF/SNA Data Communications Reference for
information about the CDRM resources and remote LU resources to define to the
TPF system using the OSTG program. See RSC Deck for information about the RSC deck.
- Code the ALS deck for the channel-attached NCP, CTC, or ALS resources that
you want to define to the TPF system being generated. This includes the
resources that will be connected as PU 4 nodes and the resources that allow
the TPF system to connect as a PU 2.1 node.
See TPF ACF/SNA Data Communications Reference for
information about the NCP, CTC, and ALS resources to define to the TPF system
using the OSTG program. See ALS Deck for more information about the ALS deck.
- Prepare the JCL to run the OSTG program. See Figure 15 and Figure 16 for examples of the JCL needed to run the
OSTG program.
- Run the OSTG job step and review the output reports. You may need
to run the OSTG program several times to eliminate all of the errors that can
occur when you define a large network.
- After the OSTG program is run successfully with no errors, load the
resulting pilot tape or GDS to the online TPF system.
- Perform a soft initial program load (IPL) on the TPF system to include the
new SNA network definitions.
