SYSID—Name the Home Node
The SYSID statement specifies the name of the home file-to-file node or the name of the home SNA NJE node, or both. It also provides the application name and password that identify each node to VTAM.
How Many Allowed: One per initialization stream.
How Many Required: One.
Placement: Between the ENDRBAM and ENDINIT statements, before or after the BDTNODE and SNABUF statements.
SYSID Statement
- Defaults:
- SYSID
- If this BDT system will handle file-to-file transfers:
- ,NAME=node-name,APPLID=appl-name
- [,APPLPSWD=vtam-password]
- 8 blanks
- If this BDT system will handle SNA NJE transfers:
- ,NJENAME=node-name,NJEAPPL=lu-name
- [,NJEAPSWD=vtam-password]
- 8 blanks
- NAME=node-name (pertains to file-to-file)
- specifies the name of the home node for file-to-file transfers.
Specified As: One to eight alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.
Default: None.
Related Parameters: node-name must match the name on the N parameter of the BDTNODE statement for the home node.
- APPLID=appl-name (pertains to file-to-file)
- specifies the name by which VTAM recognizes the home file-to-file node.
Specified As: One to eight alphanumeric characters.
Default: None.
Related Parameters: appl-name must match the name on the ACBNAME operand of the home node’s VTAM APPL statement. If ACBNAME has not been coded, appl-name must then match the name (label) of the APPL statement.
- [APPLPSWD=vtam-password] (pertains to file-to-file)
- specifies the VTAM password.
Specified As: One to eight alphanumeric characters.
Default: Eight blank characters.
Related Parameters: vtam-password must match the password specified on the PRTCT operand of the VTAM APPL definition statement.
- NJENAME=node-name (pertains to SNA NJE)
- specifies the name of the home node for SNA NJE transfers.
Specified As: One to eight alphanumeric characters.
Default: None.
Related Parameters: node-name must match the name on the N parameter of a remote node’s BDTNODE statement (that is, a BDTNODE statement specified in a remote node’s initialization stream).
- NJEAPPL=lu-name (pertains to SNA NJE)
- specifies the name by which VTAM recognizes the home SNA NJE node.
Specified As: One to eight alphanumeric characters.
Default: None.
Related Parameters: lu-name must match the name (label) of a VTAM APPL definition statement.
- [NJEAPSWD=vtam-password] (pertains to SNA NJE)
- specifies the VTAM password.
Specified As: One to eight alphanumeric characters.
Default: Eight blank characters.
Related Parameters: vtam-password must match the password specified on the PRTCT operand of the VTAM APPL definition statement.
