XLINK_SYSTEM_EXCLUDE Statement

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagram XLINK_SYSTEM_EXclude sysname

Purpose

Use the XLINK_SYSTEM_EXCLUDE statement to specify a system that CP is to exclude from the cross-system link (XLINK) function.

You cannot specify the XLINK_SYSTEM_EXCLUDE statement with the SSI statement.

How to Specify

Include as many statements as needed; they are optional. You can place XLINK_SYSTEM_EXCLUDE statements anywhere in the system configuration file. If you specify more than one statement with the same operands, the last operand definition overrides any previous specifications.

Operands

sysname
is the 1- to 8-character name of a system to be excluded from cross-system link.

Usage Notes

  1. Support for the cross system extensions (CSE) environment has been removed. However, the cross-system link (XLINK) function that was included in CSE is still supported for non-SSI systems, and “CSE” is still used in some function and object names, command responses, and messages related to XLINK.
  2. If a system name is specified on both an XLINK_SYSTEM_EXCLUDE statement and an XLINK_SYSTEM_INCLUDE statement, CP will ignore the XLINK_SYSTEM_EXCLUDE statement.
  3. The XLINK function is not supported for FBA devices.

Examples

  1. To exclude systems VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4 from XLINK, use the following XLINK_SYSTEM_EXCLUDE statements: 
      Xlink_System_Exclude  vm1     /* Exclude the following systems from  */
  Xlink_System_Exclude  vm2     /*  cross-system links so that no one  */
  Xlink_System_Exclude  vm3     /*  on the other systems will have     */
  Xlink_System_Exclude  vm4     /*  access to them.                    */
