Activating network resources

The VTAM® network must be active when the NCF application is started so that network resources are available for the NCF sessions. All participating NCF-application minor nodes must be activated before the NCF application is started by the tracker.

You activate VTAM resources by entering the VARY NET command or by specifying automatic activation in the VTAM network-definition procedure used during VTAM startup. You can activate NCF-application minor nodes and CDRSC minor nodes directly, using the VARY ACT command. You can also activate them indirectly by activating their major nodes. For further information, see VTAM Operation.
