Mainframe Connections without XIDs
There are some situations in which the mainframe does not use Node ID in exchange identifications (XIDs), but instead uses Network Name and Control Point Name. These situations include mainframes communicating through LU 6.2 and mainframes that call up Host Integration Server. (Host Integration Server accepts incoming calls on that mainframe connection.) In these situations, the following parameters must match.
Note
Use the following identifiers only when necessary. They are more complicated than needed for most mainframe connections and add the potential for error when used unnecessarily.
| Identifier used on mainframe (in unusual cases only) |
Identifier to configure on Host Integration Server |
|---|---|
| NETID in the VTAM Start command for the local SSCP CPNAME in the PU definition NETID and SSCPNAME in the VTAM Start command for the remote SSCP (VTAM system) |
Local Network Name (configured on the server) Local Control Point Name (configured on the server) Remote Network Name and Remote Control Point Name (configured on the connection) |
