Specifies the required 1–8 character name of the VTAM® SSCP or CP. You should use the same name here that you use on the host CDRM in multiple-domain networks. This start option is required.
When you code the SSCPNAME start option, consider the
items listed below. The first three items are requirements. The fourth
item is a suggestion for improving usability and easing network management.
- The SSCPNAME must be the same as the name on the NAME operand
of the corresponding GWNAU definition statement, if one is coded.
(The GWNAU definition statement is used in the gateway NCP generation
to predefine the gateway SSCP's alias network address within the gateway
NCP.)
For more information on the GWNAU definition statement, see the NCP, SSP, and EP Resource Definition Reference.
- The SSCPNAMEs and CDRM names must be unique among SSCPs that will participate in cross-domain or cross-network sessions.
- When VTAM is defined as a type 2.1 node to another VTAM or NCP on a switched SDLC connection, specify the SSCPNAME value on the CPNAME operand of the PU statement. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for information about casual connection.
- The SSCPNAME should match the name on the host CDRM definition statement in a subarea environment, and must match the host CDRM definition statement in an APPN or mixed APPN-subarea environment to avoid errors. See cdrmname for further details.
