Defining the Local LU to VTAM

z/OS MVS Planning: APPC/MVS Management
SA23-1388-00

When VTAM® is initialized, LUs are activated based on information contained in SYS1.VTAMLST. Therefore, all APPC/MVS LUs must be defined to both VTAM and MVS.

An APPC/MVS local LU is defined to VTAM with a VTAM application (APPL) definition statement in SYS1.VTAMLST. The APPL statement:
  • Names the MVS local LU and identifies it as type 6.2.
  • Sets up defaults for the LU's sessions.
  • Specifies the name of the logon mode table that contains logon modes used by the LU.
  • Defines security for the LU.
The ATBAPPL member of SYS1.SAMPLIB contains an example that shows how a VTAM APPL statement might be coded for an APPC/MVS local LU named MVSLU01. This example includes some of the VTAM APPL statement parameters that are briefly described in VTAM APPL Statement Parameters. To use the sample APPL contained in the ATBAPPL member of SYS1.SAMPLIB, you need the following additional members of SYS1.SAMPLIB:
ATBLMODE
Sample source information used to define a VTAM logon mode table. ATBLMODE defines the following logon modes:
APPCHOST
Table entry for host target
APPCPCLM
Table entry for PC target (see the example shown in Figure 1)
SNASVCMG
Table entry for resources capable of acting as LU 6.2 devices, required for LU management (see the example in SYS1.SAMPLIB member ISTINCLM)
ATBLJOB
Sample JCL that assembles and links the sample VTAM logon mode table ATBLMODE. The MODETAB statement in this file must match the MODETAB statement in your APPL.
