Book description

The Communications Server (CS) for z/OS TCP/IP Implementation series provides easy-to-understand, step-by-step guidance on enabling the most commonly used and important functions of CS for z/OS TCP/IP. In this IBM Redbooks publication we provide useful implementation scenarios and configuration recommendations for many of the TCP/IP standard applications supported by the z/OS Communications Server.
For more specific information about CS for z/OS base functions, high availability, and security, refer to the other volumes in the series. These are:
Communications Server for z/OS V1R9 TCP/IP Implementation Volume 1: Base Functions, Connectivity, and Routing, SG24-7532
Communications Server for z/OS V1R9 TCP/IP Implementation Volume 3: High Availability, Scalability, and Performance, SG24-7534
Communications Server for z/OS V1R9 TCP/IP Implementation Volume 4: Security and Policy-Based Networking, SG24-7535
