Issue/Introduction

XCOM is able to transmit sysout from on LPAR to another.  I am unable to locate a sample.  Could you direct me to sample JCL to accomplish this ?

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS

Resolution

There is no sample JCL to perform a transfer of SYSOUT from one LPAR to another. This is performed by doing a PSO (Process SYSOUT) transfer from the JES queue. In order to do that you would need the following:

1. Create a DEST member in your XCOMCNTL DD dataset with at least the following parameters:

TYPE=DEST        
IPNAME=ipaddr
IPPORT=ipport       
PACK=LENGTH      
RECSEP=NO        
WRITER=writer or DEST=dest
PSOUSER=
PSOPASS=

Note: Make sure that the value specified for WRITER= or DEST= match the values for the SYSOUT writer/dest to be transferred. Details for all parameters are in the XCOM documentation.

 

2. Once the DEST member is created you want to enable it in the XCOM STC with command: /f xcomstc,ENA,destmem. You can also make sure that the DEST member is enabled each time the XCOM STC is recycled by placing the DEST member name in the START member. Please refer to the XCOM Admin guide

3. Make sure that you have a proper HLQ for parameter PSOPREF= in the CONFIG member.
