Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software

CMS: IUCV Access Method

SAS/SHARE

Client

At a CMS client, the following statement is included in the VM directory entry for the client's virtual machine:

option maxconn 128

The following example illustrates the statements that you specify in a CMS client SAS session to connect to a server with the IUCV access method.

options comamid=iucv;
libname sasdata 'edc.prog2.sasdata' server=share1;

The IUCV access method is declared and the LIBNAME statement specifies that the data library will be accessed through the server SHARE1.

Server

At the CMS host on which the server runs, the following statements are included in the VM directory entry for the server's virtual machine:

option maxconn 1024
iucv allow priority msglimit 255

In the first line, MAXCONN specifies the maximum number of simultaneous client connections to the server. The second line allows users to connect to the server's virtual machine, allows the server to send priority messages to users, and increases the number of outstanding messages for each path from the default value of 10 to 255.

The following example illustrates the statements that you specify in a SAS session on the CMS host at which you start a server:

options comamid=iucv;
proc server id=share1;
run;

The IUCV access method is declared, and the server SHARE1 is started on the CMS host.
