'-structure_name-'
Specifies the name of the MNPS structure to be used for
multinode persistent sessions.
If subplexing is in effect for this VTAM® node (that is, start option XCFGRPID=
vv was
specified), the actual structure name that VTAM will attempt to connect to will be suffixed
by the XCF group ID. Thus, if XCFGRPID=11 was specified, the default
structure name would be ISTMNPS11 and if STRMNPS=ISTMYSTR was coded, VTAM would connect to the structure
ISTMYSTR11. The fully suffixed MNPS structure name that will be accessed
by this VTAM can be displayed
by issuing the D NET,ID=VTAM command.
- STRMNPS=ISTMNPS
- Specifies the default name of the MVS™ coupling facility structure to
be used for multinode persistent sessions.
- STRMNPS=NONE
- Specifies that VTAM will
not check for the existence of a multinode persistent sessions coupling
facility structure. Coding STRMNPS=NONE disables the multinode persistent
sessions function for this VTAM,
even if a structure has been defined.
- STRMNPS=structure_name
- Specifies a multinode
persistent sessions structure name that is 1-16 characters in length.
If subplexing is in effect, the structure_name value
can have only up to 14 characters. The name can contain numeric characters,
alphabetic characters, national characters ($, A, #) or an underscore
(_). The first 3 characters of the name must begin with IST.
Note: If
you are using multiple coupling facility structures for multinode
persistent session support, the number of characters used to specify
the name of the base structure (STRMNPS start option) including the
2-digit group ID suffix (if subplexing is in effect), must account
for characters needed for unique names for all alternate structures.

Guide for information about
using
alternate structures.
