PORT definition statement

Code a PORT definition statement for each VBUILD TYPE=XCA definition statement. The PORT definition statement defines the VTAM® connection to the Enterprise Extender shared access transport facility (SATF). Note that MEDIUM=HPRIP is required. However, only one XCA Major Node for Enterprise Extender (MEDIUM=HPRIP) can be active at a time.

VNNAME specifies the name of the virtual node representing the SATF and VNGROUP specifies the name of the DIAL=YES group for connections through the connection network. VNTYPE specifies if an Enterprise Extender connection network is permitted to span APPN network boundaries.

See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for an example of an Enterprise Extender XCA major node using Connection Network.

SAPADDR=address is optional and specifies the local SAP value; the default is 4.
