  • 1.  Name Server for CICS Liberty

    Hi all, how can I use a name server for CICS liberty? Does it work only with the host file?

    @Helmut Roese -- I don't know how this question fell through the cracks. Sorry for the delay in responding.

    As far as I can find, there are no JCICS classes that would allow a Java program running in the Liberty JVM server in CICS access the Named Counter.  The best thing I can suggest is to LINK to a COBOL/PL1/C/Assembler program which can issue the EXEC CICS COUNTER/DECOUNTER commands or the CALL to DFHNCTR interface.

    Hi Leigh,

    thank you for your answer even if it came a bit later than expected. But I want to access a DNS to resolve a URL to an IP-adress for an http-request.

    This works if I enter the name and IP-address in the hosts-file in a directory of the liberty but you have to enter each and every name by hand. A domain name server might be a much better choice but I do not know if this is possible and if so, how to configure that.

    Kind Regards

    Helmut
