Operands

NAme ipcsid
Specifies the name of the IP session.
USER userid
Specifies the name of the VM userid providing the IP communications support. On most z/VM systems, this user ID is TCPIP.
APPL applname
Specifies the name of the Operations Manager processing program. See the Usage notes for available processing applications.
ADDR varname
Specifies the address or hostname for the connection. The address format is one of the following:
  • The format for IPV4 addresses is a dotted decimal notation, n.n.n.n .
  • The format for IPV6 addresses is a hex notation, hhhh:hhhh:...:hhhh
  • If the operand value does not contain an IPV4 or IPV6 address, the value of varname is passed to name services for IP address lookup. The host name must be a fully qualified name. A name services IP connection must be defined using DEFIPCS with an APPL value of GOMRSNT. It is recommended that DEFIPCS APPL GOMRSNT be defined first to decrease DNS lookup time.

    For APPL values of GOMRSYL, GOMRSYM, GOMRSIF, and GOMRSCL, the value of varname in ADDR varname refers to the local system. This is often specified as a null address (0.0.0.0 for IPV4 or :: for IPV6) to indicate Operations Manager will accept inbound messages from any IP interface defined for the local system. If the address or host name of an IP interface is entered, only messages from that particular IP interface are accepted.

    For APPL values of GOMRSGW, GOMRSNT and GOMRSCC, the value of varname in ADDR varname refers to a remote system. For APPL GOMRSNT, which is the name lookup support, the ADDR must be an IPV4 or IPV6 value. A hostname is not allowed.

PORT port
Specifies the port for the connection.
  • For APPL values of GOMRSYL, GOMRSYM, GOMRSIF, and GOMRSCL, the value of port in PORT port refers to the local system.
  • For APPL values of GOMRSGW, GOMRSNT, and GOMRSCC, the value of port in PORT port refers to a remote system.
SCOPE scope
Specifies the address scope for IPV6 networks requiring a scope value.
PARM parm
Specifies the parameter passed to the processing program. The value may be entered as 'parm'.
