Starting all sockets to a node *START,TCP,NODE=

Function

Use the *START,TCP,NODE=nodename command to start all sockets to a particular node. Then the particular node can begin communication with that node using TCP/IP protocol.

Syntax


>>-+-*START-+--,TCP--,NODE=--nodename--------------------------><
   '-*S-----'

Parameters

NODE=node: Specifies the name of the node that is to be started.

Rules

At least one socket must be defined with the NODE= keyword that specifies the node to be started.
All such sockets must define the NETSERV and HOSTNAME parameters.
The Netservs for the sockets in question must be first started by the *CALL,TCP command. Because all sockets for a particular node do not necessarily reside in the same Netserv, this might mean that more than one Netserv must be started.
All affected sockets must be available on the remote node. If the remote node is JES2 or JES3, the socket becomes available when the Netserv starts and connects to TCP/IP.

Results

The sockets that are defined for the requested node are started by an internally generated *S,TCP,SOCKET= command. See the results for the Starting a TCP/IP/NJE Socket *START,TCP,SOCKET= command.

Examples

Using the same definitions as the ones for the *S,TCP,SOCKET= example, the following command is issued on NODE1:

*s tcp node=node4

The following response is received on NODE1:
