.-SSCPORD--=--PRIORITY-----. >>-+--------------------------+-------------------------------->< '-SSCPORD--=--+-DEFINED--+-' '-PRIORITY-'
Specifies whether VTAM® searches an adjacent SSCP table in priority order (the default) or in the order in which the table is defined.
You can change the value of SSCPORD with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM is running.
For more granular control over the search order, a different SSCPORD can be specified for each individual adjacent SSCP table. See Adjacent SSCP table for more information.
This start option is closely related to SSCPDYN. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation
Guide for information about how to use these two
start options.
- SSCPORD=DEFINED
- Specifies that VTAM searches the adjacent SSCP table in the same order that SSCPs are listed, if past session initiation attempts were successful, with the exception that the owner, if identified, is tried first.
- SSCPORD=PRIORITY
- Specifies that VTAM gives
preference to SSCPs it uses. The search order is as follows:
- The CDRM that owns the resource (if identified).
- The SSCPs for which the most recent session-initiation attempt succeeded.
- The SSCPs for which no session-initiation attempt has been made.
- The SSCPs for which the last session-initiation attempt failed.
