Establishing a TCP connection

  1. From your desktop, open the TCP Icon View.



    TCP - Icon View. Instructions on using the panel follow this figure.

    The icons you see may vary from those shown above, depending on how you have installed the product.

  2. Start the TCP Configuration program.
  3. On the Network page, ensure that the IP Address and Subnet Mask fields have been completed.
  4. Select the Autostart tab.



    The TCP/IP Configuration panel - Autostart page. Instructions on using the panel follow this figure.

  5. Ensure that inetd is selected.
  6. Select the Hostnames tab.
  7. Ensure that This machine's hostname, Local domain name, and Nameserver address have been completed.
  8. Close the configuration notebook.
    Note:
    You may see a panel warning that the inetd superserver has been selected without selecting servers. Press No to indicate that you do not wish to correct this.



    The Closing TCP Configuration panel. Instructions on using the panel follow this figure.

  9. Press Save to save the changes made.
  10. Verify that the \MPTN\ETC\SERVICES file, which is located on the drive where you installed IBM Multi-Protocol Transport Services (MPTS), contains the following line:
    MQSeries 1414/tcp # MQSeries Chan'l Listener
    

    If this line is not present, add it.

  11. Verify that the file \MPTN\ETC\INETD.LST, located on the same drive contains the following line:
    MQSeries tcp c:\mqm\bin\amqcrsta [-m QMName]
    

    If this line is not present, add it. Note that this assumes you have installed WebSphere MQ on the default drive and in the default directories.

  12. (Re)start the inetd superserver, either by rebooting OS/2 or by stopping any existing inetd superserver and then entering start inetd on the command line.

What next?

The TCP connection is now established. You are ready to complete the configuration. Go to MQSeries for OS/2 Warp configuration.
