Ensuring TCP/IP connection from the workstation to the MVS host

To verify TCP/IP connectivity between the workstation and the host, run PING.

To run PING

  1. Open an Command Prompt window and type the following:PING XXXX
    where XXXX is either the host domain name or the host IP address.
  2. Determine whether your connection is successful. If it is successful, you will see a message similar to this:Reply from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn: bytes=32 time=6ms TTL=58
     Reply from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn: bytes=32 time=5ms TTL=58
     Reply from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn: bytes=32 time=6ms TTL=58
     Reply from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn: bytes=32 time=5ms TTL=58
    If your PING attempt yields an error message, see your network administrator for help.
  3. If your mainframe connection requires AT-TLS data encryption, change the collector.cfg file installed during the installation of DevEnterprise to specify SSL=ON.
