Creation of the PORT management file

Create the PORT management file used by HULFT (such as 'HULFT.PROFILE.TCPIP').

The attributes of the file that you create are shown below.

For the "PROFILE" member in HULFT parameter library, define the Receive Port No., the Observe Port No., the name of the Receive application, and the name of the Observe application that are used by HULFT. Then, use IEBGENER to create the PORT management file with the attributes shown in the table above.

Example of JCL

JCL template for creation: HULFT.JCL (INSTALL5)

//INSTALL5 JOB  CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=B

//PROFILE  EXEC PGM=IEBGENER

In the PORT management file that you created, add definitions for the Receive Port No., the Observe Port No., the name of the Receive application, and the name of the Observe application that are used by HULFT.

For details about the values to define, refer to Installation plan.

Note
  • In the TCP/IP hosts file managed by the communications server, do not define the Receive Port No., the Observe Port No., the name of the Receive application, and the name of the Observe application that are used by HULFT.

  • It is not necessary to restart Communications Server.

  • In order to apply the modifications that you made to the PORT management file, you must restart HULFT system.

Example of PORT management file

30000#TCP#HULRCV ; HULFT RCV TASK 
31000#TCP#HULSRV ; HULFT ACCEPT TASK

= Remarks =
  • # indicates a space character. Be sure to enter a space character in each location where a # is defined.

  • Data following a semicolon (;) are treated as comments.
