Rational Developer for System z

Step B3(a). Create a connection to the remote z/OS system

Use the Remote Systems view in the Enterprise Service Tools perspective to create connections to JES, to MVS™, and (if applicable) to z/OS® UNIX System Services on the remote z/OS system.

You should create a JES connection and an MVS connection for each remote z/OS system that you want to connect to. You should also create a z/OS UNIX System Services connection for each remote z/OS system, if you want the Generate Runtime Code wizard to copy Web service files to that system. (See JES, MVS, and connections -- when needed.)

The rest of this topic describes how to create connections using the Remote Systems view in the Enterprise Service Tools perspective. However, if you need additional information about using the Remote Systems view:

  1. See the workbench's online help for the Remote System Explorer (see Creating a connection to a z/OS system).

  2. See your system administrator for information about connecting to JES, MVS, and z/OS UNIX System Services, such as the values to set for the daemon ports for JES, MVS, and z/OS UNIX System Services.

To create JES, MVS, and z/OS UNIX System Services connections using the Remote Systems view:

  1. In the Enterprise Service Tools perspective, in the Remote Systems view, right-click New Connection > z/OS.

  2. Click New Connection. The New Connection wizard opens.

  3. On the first page of the New Connection wizard, titled Remote z/OS System Connection set the values shown in Table 1:
    Table 1. First page of the New Connection wizard
    Field: Value to set or sample value: Comment:
    Host name system.company.com (example) The host name of the connection.
    Connection name system.company (example) The name that you want to use for this connection.
    Description (blank) Description of the connection.
    Verify host name Selected or cleared. Select this check box if you want the wizard to verify the host name.
  4. On the second page of the New Connection page, titled z/OS UNIX Files, set the values shown in Table 2:
    Table 2. Second page of the New Connection wizard
    Field: Value to set or sample value: Comment:
    Radio buttons in the group Indicate how the remote server should be launched by default Remote daemon Connect using a remote daemon.
    Daemon port (1-65535) 3750 (example) Port number.
  5. On the third page of the New Connection page, titled MVS Files, set the values shown in Table 3:
    Table 3. Third page of the New Connection wizard
    Field: Value to set or sample value: Comment:
    Radio buttons in the group Indicate how the remote server should be launched by default Remote daemon Connect using a remote daemon.
    Daemon port (1-65535) 3750 (example) Port number.
  6. On the fourth page of the New Connection page, titled JES, set the values shown in Table 4:
    Table 4. Fourth page of the New Connection wizard
    Field: Value to set or sample value: Comment:
    JES Job Monitor Port (1-65535) 2750 (example) Port number.
  7. Click Finish.

The node for the connection (for example, system.company) is displayed in the Remote Systems view.
