Roger I believe your reference is to z/OS UNIX System Services Planning, GA22-7800. If you had really meant to refer to "Unformatted System Services", you would have found just about all you needed in the following section of the z/OS Communications Server (CS) Configuration Guide (CG):
2.2.1.4.15 Using the Telnet solicitor or USS logon screen http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b3b1/2.2.1.4.15 This is backed up by the following section of the z/OS CS Configuration Reference (CR):: 16.4 Telnet USS table setup http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/F1A1B4B1/16.4 - Perhaps you need to be more familiar with the CS CG in general. I believe the answer to your confusion may be found in the following section: 2.3.4.2.4 Using _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT for an affinity to a specific stack http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/f1a1b3b0/2.3.4.2.4 It would appear that the use of the token "TRANSPORT" when the reference is to the instance of the IP component of CS, commonly and fraudulently referred to as - my fingers hurt to type it - a "stack",[1] is the source of the confusion. The following section helps clarify the point by indicating how application FTP has no interest in the supporting instance of CS IP while application OMPROUTE is, of course, intimately tied to the routing table of a particular such instance. 1.2.12.2.1 Generic server versus server with affinity for a specific transport provider http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/f1a1b3b0/1.2.12.2.1 - Did I know anything about this when I spotted your post? Not really! However, it looked like a question which the manuals could answer readily enough and so I located z/OS V1R13.0 elements and features bookshelves http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zshelves13.html#zbop via z/OS Internet Library http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/ and selecting "V1.13" under "Publication titles, filenames, and order numbers by z/OS release". I then entered "transport affinity" in the "Search text" box of "All z/OS V1R13.0 Base Elements, Optional Features - 672 books" and the sections referenced above were revealed. QED. - Incidentally, as nearly always with a question in IBM-MAIN starting with "can" rather than "could", > Can anyone tell me if references to 'transport' affinity is the same as > 'stack' affinity in MVS TCP/IP terms (USS Planning Guide etc.)? the accurate answer is simply "yes" - even if it's only the developer responsible for the confusion!! This particular misuse always amuses me - in the same way as questions phrased in such a manner that they require that a subscriber to IBM-MAIN has actually used a function rather than having read the description of the function in a manual which suffices in all cases - except where there is a mismatch between WAD and WAC. - [1] For an explanation, please see a recent discussion - not necessarily complete - in IBMTCP-L: 12/03/06 13:51:35 75 [email protected] Reroute FTP to an alternate route http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvgl?L=IBMTCP-L&LOG=LOG1203 http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvgl?L=IBMTCP-L&LOG=LOG1204 Chris Mason On Tue, 19 Jun 2012 10:21:21 -0500, Roger Davis <[email protected]> wrote: >Can anyone tell me if references to 'transport' affinity is the same as >'stack' affinity in MVS TCP/IP terms (USS Planning Guide etc.)? >Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
