Defining VTAM® resources for the product dialog and program interface using the server

If you intend to use the HCL Workload Automation for Z programming interface or dialog from a remote system, you need to activate the APPC support on the remote system.

Assure that there is a LU defined as default LU for the APPC communication (BASE LU) in the APPCPMnn parmlib member. If none is defined, add it as follows:

The HCL Workload Automation for Z dialog and programming interface use the default APPC support defined on the system on which the functions are used. To activate this support:
  1. Define a default VTAM® APPL supporting APPC:
        VBUILD TYPE=APPL
    APPCOUT APPL APPC=YES
                 ACBNAME=APPCOUT
                 …
  2. Update the APPCPMnn member of SYS1.PARMLIB for the default VTAM® APPL defined above:
       LUADD                                 /* Add local LU to APPC config.  */
      ACBNAME(APPCOUT)    /* Name of LU                                       */
      SCHED(ASCH)                                /* No scheduler associated   */
      BASE                /* default LU for the system    */
      TPDATA(SYS1.APPCTP) /* Profile data set for this LU */
      TPLEVEL(SYSTEM)     /* TP level for which LU search */
  3. Add any cross-domain resource definition needed to resolve VTAM® addressing.
