Setting Up and Testing Connectivity to a Remote IDMS Source
Setting Up and Testing Connectivity to a Remote IDMS Source
To access an IDMS data source on a remote z/OS system, PowerExchange and PowerCenter must be able to communicate with the PowerExchange Listener on the remote system.
To set up and test connectivity to a remote IDMS source:
On the systems where the PowerExchange Navigator, PowerCenter Client, and PowerCenter Integration Service run, use the
ping
command to test network access to the remote system.
Add the NODE statement to the dbmover.cfg file on each PowerExchange or PowerCenter system to identify the remote PowerExchange Listener and its port:
NODE=(
node_name
,TCPIP,
ipaddress_or_hostname
,
port_number
)
To determine the port number, consult with the person in your organization who installed the PowerExchange Listener on the remote system.
Run the DTLREXE ping utility on the local PowerExchange system to test connectivity to the remote PowerExchange Listener that you defined in the NODE statement.
