ATMPVC statement

Start of change Because support will be eliminated for the ATM device type in a future release, the ATMPVC statement will no longer be supported. End of change

Use the ATMPVC statement to describe a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) to be used by an ATM link.

Syntax

Rule: Specify the parameters in the order shown here.


>>-ATMPVC--pvc_name--link_name---------------------------------><

Parameters

pvc_name: The name of the permanent virtual circuit on the ATM network.
Requirement: This name must match the name of the PVC defined in the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) configuration in the ATM native settings for the ATM port. A pvc_name has a maximum length of eight characters. Because this name must match the PVC defined for the ATM port in the ATM native settings in the OSA configuration, it might further restrict the set of valid names.
link_name: The name of the ATM link associated with this PVC.
Requirement: The link_name must be defined previously with a LINK statement. The maximum length is 16 characters.

Steps for modifying

Perform the following steps to modify the ATMPVC statement:

Stop the associated ATM device whose link is referenced on the ATMPVC statement.
______________________________________________________________________
Use the VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command with a data set that contains a DELETE ATMPVC statement.
______________________________________________________________________
Use the VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command with a data set that contains the updated ATMPVC statement.
______________________________________________________________________
Start the associated ATM device.

For more information about the VARY TCPIP commands, see z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands.
