Start options for gateway VTAMs

z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide
SC27-3672-01

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.
