Connection Dialog

When you run an application that uses CA Datacom Server to access mainframe CA Datacom/DB, a Connection dialog can appear, requesting sign on information.

Note: If you are unsure of the information needed, contact the ODBC administrator for values to specify in this window.

To log on to the Mainframe

  1. Enter the user ID of the workstation user who is attempting to connect on the CA Datacom/DB Logon window.
  2. Enter the password, if any, of the workstation user who is attempting to connect.
  3. Enter a new password if needed.
  4. Reenter the newly created password to verify it.
  5. Enter the name of the CA Datacom Server to which you want to connect as it is specified in the SERVERNAME= parameter of the mainframe server component startup JCL.
  6. Enter the CAICCI services for z/OS system ID of the mainframe environment to which the workstation is to connect when the data source is selected.
  7. Enter the application identification as it is shown in the mainframe server component startup JCL. This is the APPLID= parameter of the server startup JCL.
  8. For z/OS only, enter the name and TCP/IP number for the Host system for your connection.

    The Port field designates the port number that is specified on the CA Datacom Server startup options on the mainframe if native TCP/IP (z/OS only) is used. The default for TCP/IP is 5465. If CCI is used, the port number is the number specified in the CCI mainframe startup task. This number is usually 1202.
