8.2.1 R EQUIREMENTS
Make sure that you have at least the following or newer, installed and configured
on your system:
• PSF/MVS Version 2.2.0 with APAR OW15599
• MVS Scheduler with APRA 0212236
• TCP/IP Version 3 Release 1 or higher, installed and configured on MVS
To obtain the PTFs associated with these APARs, contact the IBM Support Center.
8.2.2 D EFINE THE C OMMUNICATIONS C ONTROL U NIT TO MVS
If you have not already done so, define the communications control unit (such as a
3172) on the MVS system. Use either an MVS configuration program (MVSCP) or
a hardware configuration definition (HCD), depending on the version of your
MVS system:
• When using a version earlier than MVS 4.1.0, use an MVSCP.
• When using a version of MVS 4.1.0 or later, use an HCD or an MVSCP.
For more information about using these methods, refer to the IBM publications
