Specifies that part of an SSCP identifier used when a physical unit or external CDRM establishes contact with VTAM®. This start option is required.
It is recommended that the SSCPID in each network and
each connecting network be unique. If the SSCPs within a network do
not have cross-network sessions, the SSCPIDs are not required to be
unique. If the SSCPs do have cross-network sessions, the SSCP for
each end of the cross-network sessions must have a different SSCPID.
If more than one SSCP in one network has the same SSCPID, they cannot
all have a session with the same SSCP in another network.
Note:
- VTAM determines the ACTCDRM contention winner by comparing the SSCPID of each SSCP. If ACTCDRM contention occurs on two SSCPs with the same SSCPID, the contention must be resolved by the network operators.
- If you plan to incorporate a non-VTAM host, VTAM's SSCPID and HOSTSA start options values should be coded so that both values are either higher or lower than the non-VTAM host.
