Synchronization Over TCP/IP

On both Source and Destination Systems
You can either create a private SERVICES file or update the system SERVICES file
(usually $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.SERVICES) with lines such as
A private SERVICES file is an edit file located in the same subvolume as the installed
ASYMON object file. Refer to $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.SERVICES for a sample file.
AutoSYNC searches for the SERVICES file in the following order:
1. A SERVICES file in the AutoSYNC product subvolume.
2. A file specified by an =TCPIP^SERVICE^FILE define. The define must be specified
°
when Autosync CI is started for one-time synchronizations,
°
when the monitor is started for scheduled synchronizations.
3. The file $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.SERVICES.
The ASYSYNC-ZASY port
The ASYSYNC process on the source system uses the SERVICES file or define to
connect to the monitor on the destination system.
The monitor process on the destination system uses the SERVICES file or define to
create a TCP/IP listener.
The define is specified in the TACL session that starts an AUTOSYNC CI process. For
a monitor process, it is the define set when the START MONITOR command is issued.
On the source system, the ASYSYNC process for a scheduled synchronization inherits
the define from the monitor process. For a one-time synchronization, the ASYSYNC
process inherits the define directly from the AUTOSYNC CI process.
There is no default port number; if you do not configure a port number, synchronization
over TCP/IP is not possible. Consult your local networking specialist to choose an
appropriate port number.
The port number must be the same on all systems that have AutoSYNC installed;
otherwise, AutoSYNC cannot communicate with other systems.
If you have configured more than one AutoSYNC MAPDB and monitor, each monitor
must have a different TCP/IP port number.
ASYSYNC-ZASY <port-num>/tcp # AutoSYNC
and optionally
ASYNCLOG-ZASY <port-number>/tcp # AutoSYNC LOG
Note. The entry in the SERVICES file is case sensitive; the service name must be entered in
uppercase, the keyword tcp in <port-num>/tcp must be in lower case. This is a TCP/IP
requirement.
