After you have reviewed the previous sections and prepared your connectivity information, set up connectivity between the machine where the DirectConnect server will reside and the target mainframe. For the steps involved in this process, refer to the documentation for your connectivity protocol or consult the network administrator at your site.
Be sure that Mainframe Connect Server Option is already
installed in CICS on the z/OS mainframe.
After you have set up your SNA LU 6.2 or TCP/IP configurations to go from the local machine to the mainframe, verify this connectivity by running:
snaping, if accessing any mainframe component over SNA LU 6.2
cicsping, if accessing the CICS subsystem over TCP/IP
imsping, if accessing an IMS subsystem over TCP/IP
See Appendix B, “Validating Connectivity,” for information about cicsping and snaping.
If you have problems with your installation after you have verified connectivity between the LAN, the DirectConnect server machine, and the target—and you have an active session, then notify your site’s contact for Sybase Technical Support.
