Vm/Pc Remote Services Program; Installing Vmpcserv - IBM Professional Series User Manual

VM/PC Remote Services Program
The Remote Services program allows you to:
1. LINK and ACCESS any CMS format minidisks on the
remote VM system as
if
those disks were local; Such
minidisks are called remote minidisks. You can access
and use the minidisks as if they were located on your
local VM/PC system, but in fact they are really
minidisks on your remote VM system. When you read or
write programs and data from or to these minidisks, the
read or write requests are executed by the Remote
Services program. The local programs function as if the
read or write were being done locally, when it is really
being done by the remote system, as a result of the local
system requesting the remote services program to do the
work for it.
2. Access any file on these disks in the normal VM fashion
for local file access.
3. Spool printer output to any of the printers on the remote
VM system as if those printers were local.
Now we'll describe each of these parts of the VM/PC
remote services program.
VMPCSERV Module
To use the Remote Services described above, you must have
access to the VMPCSERV module on the remote VM
system. If you do not have access to a copy of the
VMPCSERV program, you must install it. The following
section describes how to install VMPCSERV (also referred
to as the Remote Server program).
Installing VMPCSERV
If
you wish to use the remote services but do not have access
to VMPCSERV on your remote VM system, you must install
it there. Note that the Remote Services are only available
over the 3277-2 Coaxial Connection between VM/PC and
your remote VM system.
