Using the TSO/ISPF user interface


You can use the BMC AMI Enterprise Connector for Illumio product on a TSO/ISPF user interface.

Before you begin

Make sure to follow these steps before you start using the product:

  • Copy the REXX member called RSIADMIN from the provided SAMPLIB and paste it into a CLIST library.
  • Add the RSMLOAD library data set name in which the product is installed to the LIBDEF statement.

Important

If AFUNIXPath is specified in the RSS configuration, then make sure that RSIXADM calls the same path that is specified by AFUNIXPath. The product must have WRITE access to that zFS path. The default value for RSIXADM is /var/sock.
