VTAM resource definitions

Overview

The SYS1.VTAMLST dataset contains the VTAM definitions required to define the OCF node to the VTAM network. Each OCF node identifies itself to the VTAM network via the OCF_APPLID keyword found in the corresponding BnnLSTxx member of the BETA.PARMLIB. This name is the VTAM application ID of the OCF node.

APPC application definition

The following shows the general structure of each VTAM application definition:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|application_id APPL AUTH=(ACQ,SPO),APPC=YES,MODETAB=table_name,AUTOSES=s,|
| SECACPT=CONV,DMINWNL=n1,DMINWNR=n2,DSESLIM=n3, |
| DRESPL=ALLOW |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

When you specify the use of OCF in a Beta product installation procedure, a VTAM application definition is generated in the Beta product CNTL dataset and copied to SYS1.VTAMLST by an installation batch job.

Log mode

The following logmode must be defined for a host-to-host-connection. The name APPC01 is the default. The following shows a valid MODETAB definition (see table_name above):

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|MODEAPPC MODETAB |
|APPC01 MODEENT LOGMODE=APPC01, X |
| FMPROF=X'13', X |
| TSPROF=X'07', X |
| PRIPROT=X'B0', X |

| COMPROT=X'D0B1', X |

Note

If the local and remote LUs are to reside on different VTAM subareas, the remote LU must also be specified locally as a VTAM cross-domain resource (CDRSC) with the MODETAB parameter specifying the above MODETAB table.

A sample is placed into member MODEAPPC of the BSA.SAMPLIB and can be assembled by ASMMODE, which is also a member in the BSA.SAMPLIB.
