Specifies whether the adjacent node is expected to be a network node.
  • If a value for the NN operand is specified, it will be validated when a connection is attempted to the adjacent node. If the adjacent CP is not the type of node that is expected, then connection setup fails.
  • If the NN operand is not specified, then the APPN capabilities of the adjacent node are identified and accepted when a connection is established.
Note: If the TRLE operand is coded, NN is ignored. See TRLE for more information.
NN=NO
Specifies that the adjacent node is expected to be an end node.
NN=YES
Specifies that the adjacent node is expected to be a network node.

Restriction: In a peripheral subnetwork boundary configuration between a border node and a network node without border node function, the border node appears to the non-border node as an end node. In this case, coding NN=YES on the definition statement that represents the border node, a connection failure will occur. Avoid the failure by not coding the NN operand or by coding NN=NO.
