Specifies the name of a TG profile definition. The characteristics of the TG profile (along with any modifiers) become the characteristics of the PU. If TGP is not specified or has not been activated when the PU becomes active, default TG characteristics are assigned.
See APPN transmission group profile for more information on transmission group profiles.
Guideline: Although an Enterprise Extender connection network, including the virtual node name, type, and all TG characteristics, can be defined on the PORT definition statement, you should define your Enterprise Extender connection network on the corresponding GROUP definition statement instead. By coding all connection network and TG characteristics operands on the GROUP statement, the VNGROUP operand is no longer needed. Also, because there can be multiple connection networks defined in an Enterprise Extender XCA major node with multiple GROUP definition statements, defining all of the operands on the GROUP statement to which they apply provides more clarity.
