Setting Up System Registry › Network Locations › Set SCS Address Space Location

Set SCS Address Space Location

You can set the SCS address space location from the System Registry tab.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the System Registry tab, and select Non-Sysplex Systems, Sysplexes, or Shared DASD Clusters from the tree on the left side.

   Information about the systems that you selected appears on the right side.

2. Select the system that you want to set the address location for.

   Detailed information about the system appears on the right side.

3. Click the Network Locations subtab, and in the SCS Address Space Location area, complete the following fields and click Save:

   Host Name

   Specify the TCP/IP host name or IP address of the target system.

   Note: The TCP/IP host name is not the SMF ID.

   Limits: 255 characters

   TCP Port Number

   Specify the port number for the SCS address space.

   Limits: 65535

   Default: 49152

   TCP Connection Retry Count

   Specify the number of times an operation is retried when the initial attempt is unsuccessful. These operations are send/receive transactions that target the SCS address space. Not all types of transactions can be retried, and those transactions that can, are determined on a case-by-case basis as they are implemented. Setting this field to 0 means that no retries are performed.

   Limits: 0 to 99

   Default: 15

   TCP Connection Timeout Value in Seconds

   Specify the maximum number of seconds to wait for a response on each send of a transaction request. If a communication attempt times out, the transaction can be retried. Until the maximum number of retries has not been reached, a retry occurs. If no more retries are possible, a message appears indicating a network timeout has occurred. Each retry uses the same timeout value as the initial transaction.

   Limits: 1 to 999

   Default: 10

   The new SCS address space location information is saved.

4. Click Status to display information about the SCS address space and verify that it is working.

   Note: This step does not apply to staging systems.

   The SCS Address Space dialog for this system opens.

   An error message can appear, when you click Status. Follow the instructions in the message.

   Click Close to close this dialog.
