You might need to define name
servers for two purposes:
- If you are using Domain Name system connection optimization, the listener
regions need to be configured to talk to the same name server on z/OS® that the MVS™ Workload
Manager is configured to use.
You can define the name server to be used
by TCP/IP by providing a SYSTCPD DD statement in the CICS startup JCL for
the listener region, as described in CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS Installation Guide.
- A client application can locate an IIOP server application using object
references that have been registered in a name server. For example, a Java™ client can use the JNDI interface to obtain a reference to a server
application object such as an instance of the home interface of an enterprise
bean. Object references can be registered in a name server from CICS by issuing
the commands PERFORM CORBASERVER PUBLISH, or PERFORM DJAR PUBLISH.
