When you decide to allow APPC/MVS LUs to support network-qualified
names, make sure you have VTAM® V4R4
installed, and do the following:
- If your installation uses a security product to define LU-to-LU
access authority, changes are required for those security profiles.
For example, if a RACF® APPCLU
class defines LU-to-LU access authority, make sure existing or new
APPCLU profiles use the network-qualified name for both the local
LU and partner LU names. In other words, for each LU to be enabled
to use network-qualified names, all APPCLU profiles currently defined
for that LU in the form "local-LU-network-id.local-LU-name.partner-LU-name" must
have a corresponding profile in the form "local-LU-network-id.local-LU-name.partner-LU-network-id.partner-LU-name").
You cannot specify network-qualified LU names on any other type
of RACF profiles. For more
information about APPCLU changes, see Defining LU-to-LU Access Authority with RACF APPCLU Profiles.
- Through an APPCPMxx parmlib member, use an LUDEL statement to
delete each existing, active LU that is to support network-qualified
names.
- Also through an APPCPMxx member, use an LUADD statement with the
NQN parameter for each LU that is to be enabled to support network-qualified
LU names for its partner LUs.
Changes to existing TPs are not necessary; however, consider notifying
your installation's application programmers of the change in APPC/MVS
processing of network-qualified partner LU names, so they can determine
what changes, if any, might be necessary for the TPs they design and
maintain.
