VTAMTOPO filtering option reporting

Table 1 summarizes the results of using the VTAMTOPO filtering option for reporting a switched PU under an NCP.

The following information shows the legend for the table:

notIGNR/INCL: Neither IGNORE or INCLUDE specified.
r: VTAMTOPO= not specified, REPORT inherited from node above.
R: VTAMTOPO=REPORT specified (or NOLLINES at containing GROUP).
nr: VTAMTOPO= not specified, NOREPORT inherited from node above.
NR: VTAMTOPO=NOREPORT specified (or NOSWPUS at containing GROUP).
NotRep: Switched PU is not reported.
IGNR: VTAMTOPO=IGNORE specified at designated major node.
INCL: VTAMTOPO=INCLUDE specified at the designated major node.
any: Value of VTAMTOPO= does not matter, inclusion not specified.
R-NCP: Switched PU is reported under the NCP under which the Switched PU is connected.
R-SSCP: Switched PU is reported under the SSCP directly (not under any NCP), as it is when it is not connected.

Note:

Values shown are assumed to be set in the applicable major node, individual PUX or SW PU before the connection is established. A MODIFY VTAMTOPO to set these values after the connection is established may not show the expected result before the connection is taken down and reestablished.
This table can also be used for the Switched PUs that are connected under an XCA. In the results column, all R-NCP will be R-SSCP, because the XCA is not represented by a PU type, and does not appear as a discrete node in SNA local topology.
The PUX is a place holder for a future connected switched PU under the switched line. It takes its VTAMTOPO value either explicitly from the line GROUP value, or implicitly from the NCP or the XCA major node value. If its VTAMTOPO value is explicitly set, it cannot be modified.
