Before starting, open port 64432 and keep the port open as long as the mainframe is connected.
Adding or removing mainframe connectivity typically takes 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your configuration.
-
Stop the database.
# tpareset –x –y stop for mainframe connectivity
-
Verify the database is in a DOWN/HARDSTOP state.
# pdestate -a
PDE state: DOWN/HARDSTOP Putting the database in this state may take several minutes. -
Do one of the following to run the command.
Example to add one mainframe PE: tdc-mainframe add -c 1 Example to add two mainframe PEs: tdc-mainframe add -c 2 The database restarts multiple times when tdc-mainframe is running.Option Action To add connectivity - Run tdc-mainframe add with arguments.
where:- -c followed by the number of PEs to add
- -y used in conjunction with -c, bypasses user prompt and proceeds running the command automatically
- -h to display help information
To remove connectivity - Run tdc-mainframe delete without arguments.
PEs and nodes are automatically removed when this command is run.
-
At the prompt, check the database status to make sure logons are enabled.
# pdestate -a
PDE state is RUN/STARTED. DBS state is 4: Logons are enabled - Users are logged on - If you remove mainframe connectivity, close port 64432.
