Communicating with Products

VM end users interact with most product service virtual machines through communication command modules. These command modules are deployed with a filename which matches the server virtual machine user ID with which they communicate. They are deployed to the minidisk defined by the PUBLIC or ALTPUBLIC tag in the VMSERVER NAMES file entry (usually the VMANAGER 193 minidisk).

When you test the products, you must link and access the appropriate public disk in order to use the communication modules corresponding to the release of the server. The system administrator or tape librarian user ID directory entries created by the VMALLOC procedure contain the required link statements.
