1.4.3.1 Mainframe Requirements

Whether the CRM component of TMA SNA is located on the mainframe environment or not, mainframe configurations affect how TMA SNA software functions. Prepare the mainframe to conduct operations within the Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA/ATMI platform environment by:

• Establishing the VTAM configuration
• Configuring the CICS TS Logical Unit (LU) by defining proper connections and sessions
• Completing cross-platform definitions for non-mainframe CRM
• Ensuring that APPC and transaction definitions exist for that environment, if using IMS or APPC/MVS

Refer to the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA CRM Administration Guide for detailed information about these tasks.
