Providing a Connection Level

z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Guide
SA23-1400-00

Use the CONLEVEL parameter to provide eight bytes of connector data that specifies any non-local information, such as connection or version level. The system passes this data to the structure's peer connections through the event exit. (See the EEPLSUBJCONLEVEL field in IXLYEEPL.)

A possible use for CONLEVEL is to provide a way for different levels of connected users to share the same structure. Depending on the migration protocol employed, peer connectors might not allow a lower-level connection to the structure and the lower-level connector would disconnect immediately upon determining the connect level of peer connections. Alternately, the protocol might require that the uplevel connectors limit their functionality to that of a lower level connector.

This field cannot be changed if the structure is rebuilt.
