Note: For detailed information about establishing a server with
APPC/MVS, refer to the MVS/ESA Planning: APPC Management
Reference Manual.
To Set Up the MVS Server
Step 1 Define an APPC logon mode in the VTAM logon mode table.
A logon mode is a set of parameters that determine the characteristics of the
communication session between the client and the server. The person who is
responsible for setting up the MVS system’s network definitions defines the
logon mode. Typically, this person is familiar with making the network
definitions available to VTAM.
An installation can create several logon mode tables that contain varying
communication characteristics for the MVS VTAM network. The logon
mode tables are assembled and link edited to SYS1.VTAMLIB. All the
modes that the server LU uses should be contained in the table and specified
in the server’s LU APPL definition statement.
