System names

The network name of the CICS® system is specified in the APPLID operand of the DFHSIT macro.

The name can be provided as an override during CICS startup or in the APPLID operand of the DFHTCT TYPE=INITIAL macro. This name must be specified in the NAME operand of the TERMINAL macro or on the ETO logon descriptor that defines the CICS system. This name must be known to the IMS master terminal operator as it is required to be specified within those IMS master terminal operator commands (for example, /OPNDST) that reference sessions between IMS and CICS.

The network name of the IMS system is specified in the APPLID operand of the IMS COMM macro. You must specify this name in the NETNAME operand of the DEFINE CONNECTION command that defines the IMS system.
