Communicating with VM/CMS Virtual Machines › z/OS to z/VM Client/Server Application › Client/Server Requirements

Client/Server Requirements

The requirements for the components, networking, and server are:

• The Components

  The source code for all components is written in REXX, so installation tailoring is simplified.

• The Networking

  Networking is handled through TCP/IP socket protocol using the REXX socket interface.

• The Server

  The server needs a dedicated IP address and a port definition, both of which must be made available to each client. A single z/OS server can accept multiple connections from one or more clients on one or more z/VM systems. The number of client connections is limited only by the socket protocol, installation socket set definitions, or both.
