Parameters

NA|NODEA=xxxxxxxx|nnnn: The 1 to 8 alphanumeric or special ($, #, or @) character symbolic node name (xxxxxxxx) or node number (nnnn) at one end of the connection. The name must match the NAME= parameter of the NODE initialization statement for the referenced node.
Default: This parameter is required.
NB|NODEB=xxxxxxxx|nnnn: The 1 to 8 alphanumeric or special ($, #, or @) character symbolic node name (xxxxxxxx) or node number (nnnn) of the node at the other end of the connection. You must specify the NAME= parameter of the NODE initialization statement for the referenced node.
Default: This parameter is required.
MA|MEMBA|MEMBERA=n: The member number at the NODEA end of the connection.
Default: The default is 1. The value for MEMBERA if NODEA is the local node must be a 1.
MB|MEMBB|MEMBERB=n: The member number at the NODEB end of the connection.
Default: The default is 1. The value for MEMBERB if NODEB is the local node must be a 1.

Authority Required

This command requires system authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires control security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Scope

Single member. The values supplied for this command will be in effect for this member only.

Depending on your installation's setup, however, you might want this command to be applied to all members of the MAS (to ensure a consistent environment across the MAS). If so, you can use the MVS ROUTE *ALL command to issue this command to all active members (if the JES2 command character is the same on all members). See z/OS MVS System Commands, SA38-0666 for more information on using the ROUTE *ALL command.

Messages

The $HASP815 message is issued in response to this command.

Example

 1   $DEL CONNECT,NODEA=PHOENIX,MEMBA=1,NODEB=TUCSON,
MEMBB=1

This example deletes an old connection between member 1 at Tucson and member 1 at Phoenix.
