Determines whether the network ID of an attaching node
or VTAM's network ID is used for an adjacent nonnative node. Used
to control how a nonnative node can attach to VTAM®.
Note: The
XNETALS option has changed in the way VTAM treats
PUs that send in nonnative NETIDs in their XID. VTAM used to let the PU connect and treated
it as if it sent in the same NETID that VTAM started
with but that is no longer true. If
the NETID that the PU sent in its XID is not the same as VTAM's and
XNETALS=NO or is defaulted, IST680I will be issued.
- XNETALS=NO
- Indicates
that VTAM's network ID will be used to represent the connecting node's
network ID. During connection:
- If the NETID operand is specified on the PU statement, then it must specify VTAM's network ID.
- If the NETID operand is not coded on the PU statement, then VTAM's network ID is assumed and the adjacent node's network ID is ignored.
During LU-LU session establishment:- If the network ID for the originating LU is specified (during connection time) and is not identical to VTAM's network ID, the session will not be established.
- If the originating LU is not using a network qualified name, VTAM's network ID is assumed and the session will be established.
Note: If the PU is a dependent LU server or requester, nonnative network connection is not allowed if XNETALS=NO is specified and the NETID operand is not coded. - XNETALS=YES
- Indicates that the network ID of the adjacent PU will be used
for connection and session establishment. During connection:
- If the NETID operand on the PU statement is coded, it will be used as the PU's network ID. In this case, the network ID specified on the PU statement must match the network ID specified by the attaching node during connection processing.
- If the NETID operand is not specified on the PU statement, then the network ID specified by the attaching node during connection processing will be assumed.
During LU-LU session establishment:- If the network ID for the originating LU is specified and does not match the PU's network ID, the session will not be established.
- If the originating LU name is not a network qualified name, the session will be established. VTAM will qualify the LU's name with the attaching node's network ID.
Note: Providing that XNETALS=YES is coded, you can prohibit nonnative network attachment for LU-LU sessions for a particular PU by coding XNETALS=NO on the GROUP, LINE or PU statements.
