Test the XCOMPLEX Worker Server and XCOMPLEX Admin Server Batch Interface

Important! The existing XCOMPLEX facility has been deprecated. The following information is provided for backward compatibility only. All new installations should use the new PLEXQ implementation. Existing XCOMPLEX users should migrate to the PLEXQ infrastructure for their XCOMPLEX functionality. Refer to section Create a PLEXQ Environment (Optional) in this guide.

You need to test the CA XCOM Data Transport XCOMPLEX Worker server (XCOMXFER), XCOMPLEX Admin Server (XCOMXADM), and batch interface to verify that they have been correctly implemented.

To test the XCOMPLEX Worker server (XCOMXFER), XCOMPLEX Admin Server (XCOMXADM), and batch interface

1. Verify the XCOMPLEX Admin and XCOMPLEX Worker Servers have the same value specified for XCOMPLEX= in the CA XCOM default table.
2. Start the XCOMPLEX Admin Server. Verify that the XCOMPLEX has been enabled for the XCOMPLEX Admin Server by checking for message XCOMM1005I.
3. Start the XCOMPLEX Worker Servers. Verify that the XCOMPLEX has been enabled for the XCOMPLEX Worker Servers by checking for message XCOMM1005I.
4. Verify that the connection has been made between the XCOMPLEX Admin and XCOMPLEX Worker Servers by checking for message XCOMM0451I in both the XCOMPLEX Worker Server and XCOMPLEX Admin Server logs for each XCOMPLEX Worker Server.
5. Use the MVS MODIFY command, STAT, from the XCOMPLEX Admin Server to show each XCOMPLEX Worker Server connected. For more information, see the chapter “Operation and Control” in the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS User Guide.
6. Follow steps to verify server and batch interface as described in “Test the Server and the Batch Interface” in this chapter. When running the IVP job, specify the ACBNAME and STCAPPL of XCOMPLEX Worker Server.
7. Use MVS MODIFY commands XRSHOW and XSHOW to show transfers. For more information, see the chapter “Operation and Control” in the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS User Guide.
8. Follow steps to verify the Server and batch interface as described in Test the Server and the Batch Interface in this chapter. When running the IVP job, specify the ACBNAME and STCAPPL of the XCOMPLEX Admin Server. Transfers should now be distributed through the XCOMPLEX Admin to the XCOMPLEX Worker Servers.
9. Use MVS MODIFY commands XRSHOW and XSHOW to show transfers. For more information, see the chapter “Operation and Control” in the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS User Guide.
