Use this command to define the following network resources to the TPF
system:
- Adjacent link station (ALS) resources
- Cross-domain resource manager (CDRM) resources
- Channel-to-channel (CTC) resources
- Network control program (NCP) resources.
Requirements and Restrictions
- You can enter this command only in 1052 state or higher.
- When defining a CTC resource, you must first define a CDRM resource for
that CTC resource.
Format
- ALS
- defines an ALS resource to the TPF system.
- CDRM
- defines a CDRM resource to the TPF system.
- CTC
- defines a CTC resource to the TPF system.
- NCP
- defines an NCP resource to the TPF system.
- name
- is the 1- to 8-character name of the resource. The network ID
and name of a resource must both begin with a letter (A-Z), @,
#, or $. The remaining characters can be letters
(A-Z), numbers (0-9), @, #, or
$.
- Note:
- To specify an SNA network ID or resource name that contains dollar signs
($), you must type two consecutive dollar signs ($$) for
each dollar sign in the network ID or resource name. For example, if
the SNA resource name is $SNANAME, you must type
$$SNANAME.
- SUBarea-s
- is the subarea number for the resource, from 1-255.
- Note:
- If you are creating a network definition for a CTC resource, specify the
subarea number of the CDRM resource that was previously created for that CTC
resource.
- VRILto-x
- is the number of SNA polling intervals for the virtual route input list
timeout value, from 0-255.
- Note:
- The SNA polling interval is defined by the SNAPOLL parameter in the SNAKEY
macro.
- VRTO-y
- is the number of SNA polling intervals for the virtual route timeout
value, from 0-65 535.
- Note:
- The SNA polling interval is defined by the SNAPOLL parameter in the SNAKEY
macro.
- WINsize-z
- is the number of path information units (PIUs), from 1-255, that
the TPF system can send across the link before requiring a virtual route
pacing response. This is referred to as the virtual route pacing
window.
Additional Information
- Online help information is available for this command. To display
the help information, enter one of the following:

ZNDYN ?
- Resource definitions are created only for the processor from which you
enter this command. They are not created for each processor in a
loosely coupled TPF system.
- If you perform an SNA fresh load, the resource definitions that you
created using this command are deleted from the TPF system. Use the
offline ACF/SNA table generation (OSTG) program to permanently define network
resources to the TPF system.
- The NUMALS parameter in keypoint 2 (CTK2) specifies the maximum number of
non-LU resource definitions that can exist in the TPF system. You can
change this number using the SNAKEY macro.
- Resource definitions for remote LU resources are created automatically by
the TPF system when those resources log on to the TPF system. You can
also use the OSTG program to create resource definitions for remote LU
resources.
- You can specify the parameters for this command in any order.
Examples
An ALS resource is defined to the TPF system in the following
example.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|User: ZNDYN ADD ALS-ALSTEST |
| |
|System: NDYN0080I 13.29.41 ALSTEST RESOURCE ADDED SUCCESSFULLY |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
An NCP resource is defined to the TPF system in the following
example. The size of the virtual route pacing window is set to 250
PIUs. The default values for the VRILTO and VRTO parameters are
used.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|User: ZNDYN ADD NCP-NCP1 SUB-52 WIN-250 |
| |
|System: NDYN0080I 13.30.53 NCP1 RESOURCE ADDED SUCCESSFULLY |
