Servers

CA SymDump® relies on a server running on a z/OS mainframe to provide all mainframe services.

The CA SymDump® server is installed with the mainframe component of CA Testing Tools. It is started by submitting a CA supplied job to z/OS. The server continues to execute until an administrator issues a stop command or the job gets cancelled.

Once started, the application uses a TCP/IP port number that enables CA SymDump® to communicate with the z/OS mainframe. A port number is assigned during the installation of the server. You must specify this port number when you define a server connection.
