To create a gateway VTAM®, specify the following start options:
- NETID (required)
- NETID specifies the name of the
network that contains this gateway VTAM. The network identifier allows VTAM to determine which gateway NCP definition
statements apply to the gateway host.
- SSCPID (required)
- Change SSCPID as necessary. SSCPID uniqueness must
be maintained across connecting networks because two SSCPs with the
same ID cannot establish a session.
- SSCPNAME (required)
- SSCPNAME specifies the unique name by which this
gateway SSCP is known to the gateway NCP and other networks. This
name must be the same as the NAME operand on a GWNAU definition statement
that is used to predefine an SSCP element address in a gateway NCP.
This name must also be the same as the owner name (CDRM operand) used
on the CDRSC definition statements in other networks that represent
resources owned by this VTAM.
- HOSTPU (recommended if the NetView® program is installed)
- HOSTPU specifies
a unique network name for the VTAM host physical unit. The NetView program uses this name to determine which VTAM host physical unit it is tracing. (If HOSTPU
is not specified, all VTAM host
physical units are named ISTPUS.)
- GWSSCP=YES (required)
- GWSSCP=YES indicates that this SSCP can serve as
a gateway SSCP.
Note: Even if this SSCP is not performing a gateway
function, GWSSCP can be used to enable this SSCP to act as an intermediate
SSCP during a session setup.
