Specifies whether the application is capable of multinode persistent sessions.
PERSIST=SINGLE
Indicates single-node persistence only is allowed. SINGLE can be abbreviated as S.
PERSIST=MULTI
Indicates multinode persistence is allowed in addition to single-node persistence support. MULTI can be abbreviated as M.
Note:
  1. VTAM® will issue error message IST1350I if PERSIST=MULTI is coded and the application program is activated in an environment that does not support multinode persistent sessions. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Messages for details.
  2. When coded at a Network Node (or ICN), PERSIST=MULTI is allowed only on a model application definition.
  3. If model definitions are being used to define multinode persistent application programs and if LUAPFX is specified on the model definition statement, use an MVS™ system symbol as part of the LUAPFX value to reduce name collision during recovery processing.
