Determines whether VTAM® loads another copy of the NCP and restarts
it after either an unrecoverable failure occurs in the NCP or the
communication controller.
- AUTOIPL=NO
- Indicates that the VTAM operator is prompted on whether VTAM should load and restart another copy of the same NCP.
- AUTOIPL=YES
- Indicates that another copy of the same NCP is automatically loaded and restarted.
In an NCP for a communication controller that is attached by multiple channels, more than one PCCU definition statement can have AUTOIPL=YES.
If the operator specifies DUMPLOAD=YES in the VARY ACT command for a 3720 or 3745 communication controller, or DUMPLD=YES on this statement, the communication controller attempts to dump and load the NCP. If the dump and load by the communication controller is successful, the AUTODMP and AUTOIPL operands are ignored.
Note: All VTAMs in the network must be at V3R4.1 or higher
for the IPL/Dump Contention function to be used. Any mixture of back-level
VTAMs including V3R4 VM, or V3R4 VSE make this function not valid.
