Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software

System Configuration for the TCP/IP Access Method

System Administrator, SAS Site Representative, Applications Programmer, User

The TCP/IP access method for the CMS host requires IBM TCP/IP Version 2, Release 3 or subsequent release.

To configure the TCP/IP access method for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE, you must perform the following tasks or have knowledge of the following issues

Define the TCP/IP server host.
Understand the IBM TCP/IP network configuration files.
Understand the search order for locating host names and Internet addresses.
Know about the HOSTS file.

Defining the TCP/IP Server Host

The access method must locate a TCP/IP virtual machine whose name can vary from site to site. The TCP/IP access method searches for the virtual machine name in the file TCPIP DATA. If this file is unavailable, the access method uses a default name of TCPIP.

Creating the Server VM Directory Entry for the Server Virtual Machine

You must include the following statements in the VM directory entry for the server's virtual machine:
