Purpose

Using the MODIFY APINGTP command, you can change the number of APING command transaction programs permitted to run concurrently for sending APING requests to other nodes. The initial limit provided at startup is 10.

Operands

procname
The procedure name for the command. If procname in the START command is specified as startname.ident, where startname is the VTAM® start procedure and ident is the optional identifier, either startname.ident or ident can be specified for procname.

If procname in the START command is startname, startname must be specified for procname.

INSTANCE
Specifies the number of APING transaction programs permitted to run concurrently for sending APING requests to other nodes.
INSTANCE=UNLIMITED
Specifies that there is no limit to the number of transaction programs permitted to run concurrently for sending APING requests to other nodes.
INSTANCE=value
Specifies the number of transaction programs permitted to run concurrently for sending APING requests to other nodes. Values of 0–32763 are accepted.

Specifying INSTANCE=0 prevents sending APING requests to other nodes, and a DISPLAY APING command will be rejected.
