Parameter Description CONNect

NodeA=xxxxxxxx | nnnnn

Specifies the symbolic node name (xxxxxxxx) or node number (nnnnn) of the node at the NodeA end of the connection. The name must be specified on the NAME= parameter of the NODE initialization statement for the referenced node.

Note:

If coding the symbolic node name for this parameter, the NODE(xxxxxxxx) statement where the node name is defined must be placed before the CONNect statement in the initialization stream.
NODEA and NODEB may appear in any order when defining a static connection, that is NODEA does not have to be your node or the other end. When JES2 resolves the static connection, the order may be different than what was entered on the command when you issue a $DCONNECT. This is because the node with the smallest number will always be assigned to NODEA. The end result is the same.

This parameter must be specified.

Modification: $ADD CONNect operator command or $DEL CONNect operator command.

MemberA=n|1

This value is 1; it specifies the member number of NodeA.

Note: Most supported NJE nodes require this parameter to be defaulted or set to 1. This parameter should only be used if the documentation for the NJE product on the node specified by NodeA= requires it. Improper specification of this field can cause portions of your NJE network to be unreachable. IBM suggests that you do not specify this parameter and allow it to default.

Modification: $ADD CONNect operator command or $DEL CONNect operator command.

NodeB=xxxxxxxx | nnnnn

Specifies the symbolic node name (xxxxxxxx) or node number (nnnnn) of the node at the NodeB end of the connection. The name must be specified on the NAME= parameter of the NODE(xxxxxxxx) initialization statement for the referenced node.

Note:

If coding the symbolic node name for this parameter, the NODE(xxxxxxxx) statement where the node name is defined must be placed before the CONNect statement in the initialization stream.
NODEA and NODEB may appear in any order when defining a static connection, that is NODEA does not have to be your node or the other end. When JES2 resolves the static connection, the order may be different than what was entered on the command when you issue a $DCONNECT. This is because the node with the smallest number will always be assigned to NODEA. The end result is the same.

This parameter must be specified, even for non-JES2 nodes.

Modification: $ADD CONNect operator command or $DEL CONNect operator command.

MemberB=n|1

This value is 1; it specifies the member number of NodeB.

Note: Most supported NJE nodes require this parameter to be defaulted or set to 1. This parameter should only be used if the documentation for the NJE product on the node specified by NodeB= requires it. Improper specification of this field can cause portions of your NJE network to be unreachable. IBM suggests that you do not specify this parameter and allow it to default.

Modification: $ADD CONNect operator command or $DEL CONNect operator command.

PATHMGR= Yes | No | RESET

Specifies whether or not this connection supports path manager protocols. PATHMGR=RESET specifies that the value of PATHMGR= should be reset to the default.

If PATHMGR=Yes was specified on both of the related NODE(xxxxxxxx) initialization statements, then this parameter defaults to PATHMGR=Yes. Otherwise, this parameter defaults to PATHMGR=No.

Modification: $T CONNect operator command.

REST=nnnn

For connections between subsystems of different nodes, an integer between 2 and 8000 that specifies the total path resistance of the connection (see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide for more information). This value will be set to zero for connections between subsystems of the same node.

This parameter defaults to 0; however, neither 0 nor 1 is valid if explicitly specified.

Modification: $T CONNect operator command.
