Use the node parameters to select the following node parameters to process selected records based on the device name or network address:

• NODE
• BFFRNODE
• CTLRNODE
• GPTNODE
• LINENODE

ACF/TAP checks each specific node parameter, except GPTNODE, for the trace data records to be selected. If you do not specify selection values on the parameter, ACF/TAP uses the information specified on the NODE parameter. If you provide no selection criteria on the NODE parameter, the default value (ALL) is used.

If you do not specify the same selection criteria on the NODE parameter and a specific node parameter (for example LINENODE), the selection criteria on the NODE parameter is ignored.

For GPT processing, if you do not specify GPTNODE, node processing uses the first nonzero link address and not the value of the NODE parameter.
