IBM Mainframe Forum

I have installed the MVS TK4- system on debian linux. I want to connect to it remotely.

Currently i can login on the same PC only. What i want is that my MVS should have an IP address and port which i can use to connect to it, from anywhere in the world. Currently i am connecting via

IP ADDRESS: LOCALHOST
PORT: 3270

I have searched the MVS manual. It does not contain the info to do this.
Here is the PDF: http://wotho.ethz.ch/tk4-/MVS_TK4-_v1.00_Users_Manual.pdf

If anyone can show me some direction then i will search the rest on my own. Even a link to some pdf will be fine.

Here is the screenshot of what i am currently doing ( screenshots deleted , the issue is clear enough even without them )

i just want to assign an IP address to it. I think this topic could be part of System programming as well. Posted it here since its not a real mainframe and a simulator.

Any guidance will be of great help.

IP ADDRESS : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <= the address hosting the TK4 instance
PORT : 3270 <= or whatever You have chosen

mvs 3.8 does not any tcp/ip capability, it relies on the hosting pc connectivity

Is it possible to do this by using some packet capturing software like WinPcap.

The documentation here says that it is possible in Windows: http://www.bsp-gmbh.com/hercules/wingui/ctci-w32-readme.html

We have to install WinPcap. Assign Static IP to our network. Then, we just have to add a line in configuration file to do this.



But this is for windows.

Is it possible to do the same on Debian Linux?

NO to everything ....

mvs 3.8 does not any tcp/ip capability,

the 0E20-0E21 definition is for zOS

and ...
do not mix the documentation,
stick to the TK4- docs
