Configuring a two-node network that uses APPC/MVS

Figure 1 shows an RRSF network with two nodes, NODEA and NODEB. Because NODEA and NODEB are to communicate with each other, they must be configured in remote mode. The ACBNAME in the APPCPMxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB on NODEA is RM4AMVS. The ACBNAME in the APPCPMxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB on NODEB is RM4BMVS.

The following commands illustrate how you could configure this network to communicate using APPC/MVS. On NODEA the following command describes the local node NODEA:

TARGET NODE(NODEA)
       LOCAL
       DESCRIPTION('First sample node')
       PROTOCOL(APPC(LUNAME(RM4AMVS)))
       OPERATIVE
       PREFIX(SYS1)
       WORKSPACE(VOLUME(MVS001))

and the following command describes NODEB as a remote node of NODEA:

TARGET NODE(NODEB)
       DESCRIPTION('Second sample node')
       PROTOCOL(APPC(LUNAME(RM4BMVS)))
       OPERATIVE
       PREFIX(SYS1)
       WORKSPACE(VOLUME(MVS001))

On NODEB the following command describes the local node NODEB:

TARGET NODE(NODEB)
       LOCAL
       DESCRIPTION('Second sample node')
       PROTOCOL(APPC(LUNAME(RM4BMVS)))
       OPERATIVE
       PREFIX(SYS1)
       WORKSPACE(VOLUME(MVS001))

and the following command describes NODEA as a remote node of NODEB:

TARGET NODE(NODEA)
       DESCRIPTION('First sample node')
       PROTOCOL(APPC(LUNAME(RM4AMVS)))
       OPERATIVE
       PREFIX(SYS1)
       WORKSPACE(VOLUME(MVS001))
