Partner definition attributes

The partner definition attribute descriptions are:

Description
(Optional.) Specifies a 1- to 30-character description of the resource.
Name
Specify a 1- to 8-character, alphanumeric name for the partner definition.
NetName
is the netname of the logical unit on which the partner application program is running. It matches the NETNAME attribute specified in the connection definition. The name can be up to eight characters in length.
Network
You can use this optional attribute to specify the name of the network on which the partner LU is located. The name can be up to eight characters in length.
Profile
specifies which communication profile is to be used for the session and conversation. The default PROFILE is DFHCICSA.
REGROUP
(Optional.) Specify the name of an existing resource group to which the definition is to be automatically added.
TPname
specifies the name of the remote transaction program that will be running on the partner LU. The definition of a remote TP name is mandatory; you must specify either TPNAME or its alternative, XTPNAME. This name can be up to 64 characters in length.
User Data
(Optional.) Three 8-character fields provided for any site-specific data related to the partner. CICSPlex® SM makes no use of this user data.
Version
(Optional.) Specify an integer in the range 1 through 15. Specify 0 or leave blank for CICSPlex SM to assign the first available version id in the range 1 through 15.
XTPname
This attribute may be used as an alternative to TPNAME; you must specify one of the two, because the definition of a remote TP name is mandatory.

Enter a hexadecimal string up to 128 characters in length, representing the name of the remote transaction program that runs on the partner LU. All hexadecimal combinations are acceptable except X'40'.
