>>-cdrmname----------------------------------------------------><

Specifies, in a multiple-domain network, the 1–8 character name of the cross-domain resource manager minor node of this network. For CDRMs in other networks, cdrmname is the name by which this VTAM® identifies the other-network CDRMs. cdrmname is required for this network and other networks.

Because cdrmname is used in the ID operand of VTAM operator commands, it must be a name unique to this VTAM. As a result, the name fields of all CDRM definition statements that are active at one time must be unique and not conflict with other resource names in the same network. Because the CDRM definition statement in an adjacent SSCP table requires the SSCPNAME of an external CDRM when the CDRSC associated with the table has been coded with a NETWORK definition statement, you might have to change the labels on the CDRM definition statements.

To simplify system definition and the network operator's job, use the same name for the host CDRM and for the SSCPNAME start option if the NODETYPE start option is specified. If NODETYPE is coded in the start list and the names do not match, the following actions are taken:
  • The host CDRM name is ignored and the SSCPNAME is required.
  • Messages are generated to inform the operator that the SSCPNAME is being used instead of the host CDRM name.
Note: CDRM sessions might be affected by the name change. If you do not use the same cdrmname, the session might fail in some cross-network configurations.
