Setup TCPIPGW Parameters

When connecting two z/OS systems using TCP/IP, you should define the NODE and CONNECT statements on both systems.

On SYSA:

SYSID(CCISYSA)
PROTOCOL(TCPIPGW,7000,01,CCISYSA)
NODE(TCPIPGW,SYSB.NODE.COM:7000,01,CCISYSB)
CONNECT(CCISYSB) 

On SYSB:

SYSID(CCISYSB)
PROTOCOL(TCPIPGW,7000,01,CCISYSB)
NODE(TCPIPGW,SYSA.NODE.COM:7000,01,CCISYSA)
CONNECT(CCISYSA)

When connecting a distributed (Windows/Unix/Linux) machine to z/OS, you should not define the NODE and CONNECT statements. This allows the connection to be driven only from the distributed platform.

On SYSA:

SYSID(CCISYSA)
PROTOCOL(TCPIPGW,7000,01,CCISYSA)

To drive the connection from the Distributed CAICCI platform, you must define a REMOTE entry in the Distributed CCIRMTD file for the remote Mainframe CAICCI.
