Create the host server startup procedure

The host server is a client/server application that you can use to access BMC Discovery for z/OS from a web browser. If a CAS and host server are already configured to support other BMC products, they can also be used by BMC Discovery for z/OS. If a host server is not already in place, you can use member BBMXPJCL as a model to help you set up your host server startup procedure.

To create the host server startup procedure

1. Copy BBSAMP member BBMXPJCL to a procedure library.

   You can change the member name if you want. The member name is the name that you will specify on the START command when you start the host server.
   

2. Modify member BBMXPJCL as follows:
   1. Change SSID=?SSID to SSID=ssid, where ssid is the subsystem ID of the CAS to which BMC Helix Discovery and Dependency Mapping will connect. The default is BBCS.

   2. Change PORT=?PORT to PORT=nnnnn, where nnnnn is a unique port number for the host server as an integer between 1024 and 65535. The default is 3940.

      Note

      If you change the port number from the default of 3940, you must:

      • Specify a unique port number for each application that runs on a system image
      • Specify the new port number when you start the host server
   3. If you changed the member name to something other than BBMXPJCL, update the PROC statement to specify the new member name.

3. Save the member.
   Define the host server started task procedure to your IPL procedure so that the system host starts at system initialization by adding a START command to the COMMNDxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB: 

   COM='S <procname>'

   Note

   Procname is the name of the PAS started task procedure.

BBPARM member BBTTCP00

If you want to connect to a secondary TCP/IP stack or debug TCP/IP related problems, use member BBTTCP00:

1. Copy BBPARM member BBTTCPxx to the UBBPARM data set.
2. Modify the member with the desired parameters and rename the modified member to BBTTCP00.
