You must create a VSAM connection to connect to a PowerExchange Listener to read from one or more VSAM source data sets.
The PWX Bulk Reader that is on the system where the Secure Agent runs requires the connection information to retrieve VSAM records from PowerExchange.
You can create a VSAM connection in Administrator or Data Integration, provided that your assigned user role allows this action. Use one of the following methods:
•In Administrator, click Connections on the navigation bar. On the Connections page, click New Connection and then enter connection details and properties for a connection that has the type of VSAM.
•In Data Integration, when you create a mapping, click Source on the mapping canvas and then click Source in the Properties: Source panel. To create a connection, click New Connection and define a connection that has the type of VSAM. Alternatively, if you previously defined a VSAM connection, select it from the Connection list.
When you configure a connection, you must specify a runtime environment for the connection. The runtime environment must contain a Secure Agent with the status "Up and Running."
After you create a VSAM connection, it becomes available for use within the organization and can be used in multiple mappings.
