Modifying class of service

You can define the transmission priority and paths between systems with entries in a class of service (COS) table.

About this task

Each entry in the table is associated with a list of routes to be used with a particular class. For example, you might want to place interactive sessions on a faster route than a batch job.

Procedure

To specify a class of service for a specific mode:

Use the COS option of the MODEENT macro.
When you specify a name of a COS entry in the mode description, you select the list of routes that you want to be used for the session. When VTAM® establishes the session, it chooses the first available route in the list of routes that you tell it to use for that class.

If you do not specify a COS name, the mode gets the default list of routes from VTAM.
