Requirements for autoinstall

Autoinstall of APPC connections works with any supported release of ACF/SNA.

You can have only one active autoinstall control program for terminals and connections. You must specify the name of the active program on the AIEXIT system initialization parameter. As well as providing function to autoinstall APPC connections initiated by BIND requests, the sample program, DFHZATDY, provides the same function for terminal autoinstall as the default control program, DFHZATDX, described in Writing a program to control autoinstall of LUs. Thus, you can use a customized version of DFHZATDY to autoinstall both terminals and APPC connections.

Note: Both DFHZATDX and DFHZATDY provide function to install shipped terminals and connections, and Client virtual terminals.

You may find the supplied version of DFHZATDY adequate for your purposes. If not, you can write a customized version of the supplied program, or create your own program to provide enhanced function.
