Customizing the TCP/IP driver (SYGWHOST)  Macro formats

Appendix A: Customization Options

Macro parameters

There are six parameters in this macro:

Parameter

Definition

HOSTNAME

The name of the host on which the Sybase server resides. The maximum length of the host name is 24 characters. If a value is provided for the IPADDR parameter, the HOSTNAME parameter is ignored, and no DNS search is performed.

IBMTCPADDRSPACE

Designates the name of the IBM TCP/IP address space. This parameter can be specified as either of the following:

  • A hard coded value of up to 8 characters.

  • A system symbolic name. System symbolic names are defined in the IEASYMxx PARMLIB member and are limited to 7 characters preceded by "&&". For example, the symbolic name "SYBTCP" would be designated as follows:

    IBMTCPADDRSPACE=&&SYBTCP
    

    Symbolic names allow the use of a common SYGWXCPH configuration module across multiple LPARs, even if each LPAR has a different TCP address space name. The default address space name is TCPIP.

IPADDR

The IP address of the host on which the Sybase server resides. If a value is provided for this parameter, the HOSTNAME parameter is ignored.

LISTENER

One of the following:

  • LAN if the listen port is for a LAN-based server (default)

  • CICS if the listen port is for an CICS Server Option listener

  • IMS if the listen port is for an IMS TM Server Option listener

LSTNPORT

The listen port of the server specified by SERVERNAME.

SERVERNAME

The 1-30 byte name of a Sybase server.
