.-STRGR--=--ISTGENERIC---------. >>-+------------------------------+---------------------------->< '-STRGR--=--+-ISTGENERIC-----+-' +-NONE-----------+ '-structure_name-'
Enables you to rename the generic resources structure.
STRGR is valid only when the coupling facility function
is supported. For VTAMs that are to share the same generic resource
information, you must specify the same STRGR value for each VTAM®. If subplexing is in effect
for this VTAM node (that is,
start option XCFGRPID=vv was specified),
the actual structure name that VTAM attempts
to connect to is suffixed by the XCF group ID. Thus, if XCFGRPID=11
was specified, the default structure name would be ISTGENERIC11 and
if STRGR=ISTMYSTR was coded, VTAM would
connect to the structure ISTMYSTR11. The fully suffixed generic resource
structure name that will be accessed by this VTAM can be displayed by issuing the D NET,ID=VTAM
command.
- STRGR=ISTGENERIC
- Specifies the IBM-supplied generic resources structure name.
- STRGR=NONE
- Specifies that VTAM will not check for the existence of a generic resources coupling facility structure. Coding STRGR=NONE disables the generic resources function for this VTAM, even if a structure has been defined.
- STRGR=structure_name
- Specifies a user-defined generic resources structure name. The structure_name value
can have up to 16 characters. If subplexing is in effect, the structure_name value
can have only up to 14 characters. The value must have a minimum of
3 characters, and these must be the characters IST. The value can
contain numeric characters, alphabetic characters, national characters
($, @, #), or an underscore (_).
If the structure name specified on the STRGR option is not defined at VTAM initialization, then no connection attempt is made and the generic resource function is disabled.
