Gateway path selection list z/OS Communications Server: SNA Customization SC27-3666-00 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This word of the parameter list points to the list of gateway paths available for this LU-LU session. Table 1 shows the format of this list. The list has entries for all the gateway paths defined to VTAM® (by the GWPATH definition statements) for each gateway NCP for which the gateway SSCP is performing gateway path selection. The gateway path entries are passed to the session management exit routine in the order they are defined to VTAM. However, the gateway NCP used for an SSCP-SSCP session is always placed first in the list if this SSCP is in session with the gateway NCP. If the SSCP is not in session with the gateway NCP being used for the SSCP-SSCP session, the first entry in the selection list is the entry that matches the subarea address and the adjacent network that is being used for the SSCP-SSCP session (the adjacent network as specified on the ADJNET operand on the GWPATH statement). Note that the gateway path selection function might be
processed in one SSCP to select a gateway for an adjacent SSCP.
You can modify the gateway path selection list in the
following ways:
For a list to be correct, the following requirements must
be met:
If the list returned by the exit routine is not valid for any of these reasons, the original list that was sent to the exit routine is used. The address of the gateway path selection list should remain unchanged. The modified gateway path list should use the same storage that VTAM passed to the exit routine. |
