Configure Distribution Service (CFGDSTSRV)

The Configure Distribution Services (CFGDSTSRV) command changes the configuration of the distribution network. The user can add, change, remove, and display entries from the distribution queues table, the routing table, and the secondary system name table. A detailed description of configuring a distribution network is in the SNA Distribution Services book, SC41-5410.

Restrictions:

  1. This command is shipped with public *EXCLUDE authority and the QPGMR and QSYSOPR user profiles have private authorities to use the command.
  2. Before this command is run for the first time, the QSNADS subsystem must be started to create the internal systems network architecture distribution services (SNADS) objects that this command uses.
  3. Messages that report errors about system names or distribution queues may show or print different characters than the user entered because of internal system transformations. The internal value for a system name or distribution queue may differ from the characters shown by the CFGDSTSRV command depending on the language being used for the work station.
