Note: This
operand is valid for subarea and PU Type 2 connections.
Determines whether the physical unit continues to operate when the NCP enters automatic network shutdown. The value coded on this statement overrides whatever value you code on the ANS definition statement for the NCP.
For switched subarea connections, this operand specifies
whether a switched subarea connection over lines attached to this
physical unit should remain active or be dropped when the owning SSCP
is lost. This is used only on a PU definition statement that defines
a subarea physical unit that is connected to a link station within
an NCP.
- ANS=CONTINUE (or CONT)
- Indicates that the LU-LU sessions are to continue.
Code ANS=CONTINUE if the terminal participates in XRF sessions.
When a session is continued and takeover occurs, if the LU taken over is a dependent logical unit, it must support ACTLU(ERP) or the session is terminated during takeover processing. An independent logical unit does not receive ACTLU, so this restriction does not apply.
Note that there are several restrictions for session continuity in certain configurations. For information on these restrictions, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide.
- ANS=STOP
- Indicates that the connection should be dropped.
