Operation

The Mainframe Access configuration utility has two modes of operation:

• Creating a new XML configuration file. The interface takes you through the steps for specifying the MFA Server parameters as well as Application Server and Services parameters. Once you have specified the basic configuration file you can choose to:
  • Upload the file to a mainframe location or you can save it locally in your browser's download directory.
  • Edit your initial MFA Server XML configuration, found in hlq.MFA.CNTL(MFAXML), and customize it for your needs.
• Downloading an XML configuration file from a mainframe location. Once you have downloaded the configuration file you can choose to:
  • Upload the file to an alternative mainframe location or you can save it locally in your browser's download directory.
  • Review the downloaded configuration file. This is performed in stages:
    1. Review the existing MFA Server parameters.
    2. Review the existing RIMS, MCO, MFA and ES-MTO Services parameters.
    3. Review the existing DataConnect, Endevor, ChangeMan, AMS and TSO Application Server parameters.
    4. Once you have reviewed the configuration you can upload the file to a mainframe location or you can save it locally in your browser's download directory.
