VTAM APPN Commands

The following commands and operands are useful for APPN operation and

diagnostics. They are not complete. Please see VTAM Operation for a

complete list of options and the syntax.

APPN Operands for VTAM Modify Commands

Checkpoint the specified data set.

F NET,CHKPT TYPE=ALL | DIR | TOPO

Change ownership of network resources

F NET,DIRECTRY,UPDATE,ID=node CPNAME=new | (new,old), NETSRVR=server

Example: f vtam4,directry,update,id=aciqarte,cpname=sscp9,netsrvr=sscp4, must be issued from an LPAR where the directory

Already knows about the id=node

è  CNM04    F VTAM4,DIRECTRY,UPDATE,ID=CITSNS,CPNAME=SSCP9,NETSRVR=SSCP4

è  CNM04    IST097I  MODIFY   ACCEPTED                                  

è  CNM04    IST241I  F DIRECTRY COMMAND COMPLETE FOR NSIN.CITSNS         

Delete a resource from the directory database.

F NET,DIRECTRY,DELETE,ID=node

specifies tracing for the CP whose ID is node

F NET,TRACE,ID=node,TYPE= GPT | IO | BUF | STATE, IDTYPE=RESOURCE | SSCP | CP- CP, RESOURCE

.

specifies tracing for any resource with ID node. Starts tracing for adjacent CPs.

F NET,TRACE,ID=node,TYPE=STATE,OPTION=ADJCP

Change APPN-related parameters for a resource. Many other non-APPN related parameters can also be specified.

F NET,RESOURCE,ID=node SRCOUNT=number_searchs,SRTIMER=number_seconds,

SRCLEAR=YES,REGISTER=CDSERVR | NETSRVR | NO

Change the transmission group profile associated with a connection.

F NET,TGP,TGPNAME=profile, ID=adjlink_station| ID=cpname,TGN=tg_number

Delete a node from the topology database.

F NET,TOPO,ID=cpname TYPE=FORCE

Delete a transmission group from the topology database.

F NET,TOPO, ORIG=cpname,DEST=cpname, TGN=tg_number,TYPE=FORCE

Change start options.

F NET,VTAMOPTS (Table 4 on page 5).

APPN Operands for VTAM Vary Commands

Activate a connection and specify if it supports CP-CP sessions and HPR.

V NET,ACT,ID=adj_link_station | pu 2.1_nonswitched_line_name CPCP=YES | NO HPR=YES | NO

Activate a resource. IDTYPE indicates whether to activate the CP or if RESOURCE is specified whether to activate a CP and CDRM by that name if both exist.

V NET,ACT,ID=cdrsc IDTYPE=RESOURCE | CP

Activate a CDRM (SSCP) or a CDRM and CP (RESOURCE) and specify whether to allow CP-CP sessions with this CP over a VRTG connection.

V NET,ACT,ID=cdrmname IDTYPE=RESOURCE | SSCP VRTGCPCP=YES | NO

Inactivate a cdrsc. IDTYPE=CP specifies to inact only a CP by this name.

V NET,INACT,ID=cdrsc IDTYPE=CP

Deactivate a dependent LU requester.

V NET,INACT,ID=dlur

Deactivate a PU supported by a DLUR

V NET,INACT,ID=dlurpu

APPN Operands for VTAM Display Commands

Display the adjacent cluster routing tables used for APPN searches.

D NET,ADJCLUST NETID=destination network,SCOPE=ONLY | ALL

Display an adjacent CP and its connections. Note that a CP at the other end of an RTP connection is considered adjacent.

D NET,ADJCP,ID=adjacent_CP SCOPE=ONLY | ALL

Display border node class-of-service mapping.

D NET,BNCOSMAP NETID=destination network,SCOPE=ONLY | ALL

Display a resource in the directory. NSEARCH will cause a network (subarea and APPN) search to be performed returning all instances in the local domain and the first instance in another domain.

D NET,DIRECTRY,ID=resource SCOPE=ONLY | ALL | NSEARCH

Display a resource in any network. Default for MAX is the DSPLYDEF start option.

D NET,DIRECTRY,ID=*.resource MAX=number_to_display

Display dependent LU requesters that have a CPSVRMGR session with the host.

D NET,DLURS

Display a resource.

D NET,ID=resource IDTYPE=RESOURCE | CP | DIRECTRY, NETID=cdrsc_network, SCOPE=ONLY | ACT | ACTONLY | CONCT | INACT| INACTONLY | ALL  PENDING | RESET

Display a resource in any network.

D NET,ID=*.resource IDTYPE=RESOURCE | DIRECTRY, SCOPE=ONLY | ACT | ACTONLY | CONCT | INACT| INACTONLY | ALL | PENDING | RESET , MAX=1 | number_to_display

Display dynamic adjacent CPs.

D NET,ID=ISTADJCP,E

Display HPR RTP connections.

D NET,ID=ISTRTPMN,E

Display network node server.  Issued at end node or migration data host.

D NET,NETSRVR SCOPE=ALL | ONLY

Display resources whose names match a pattern. IDTYPE covers many more areas, only APPN types are listed here. Depending on the VTAM DSPLYWLD start option, wildcard values can be used for the resource name.

D NET,RSCLIST,ID=* | resource IDTYPE=* | ADJCPS | ADJCPSEG | TRLSEG,EXCLUDE=name or pattern, MAX=number_to_display, SCOPE=ALL | ACT | ACTONLY | CONCT | INACT| INACTONLY | PENDING | RESET

Display the subarea-to-APPN class-of-service mapping table.

D NET,SATOAPPN

Display transmission groupprofiles. MAX defaults to DSPLYDEF start option.

D NET,TGPS ID=tgprofile_name, MAX=number_to_display

Topology summary display

D NET,TOPO,LIST=SUMMARY.

Display topology for a specific node.

D NET,TOPO,ID=cpname LIST=ALL, APPNCOS=cos_name

Display topology for an adjacent node.

D NET,TOPO,ID=cpname, LIST=ADJ, APPNCOS=cos_name

Display topology for specific node types.

D NET,TOPO,LIST=BN | CDSERVR | EN | ICN | NN | VN, ID=cpname, APPNCOS=cos_name

Display topology for specific TGs. Specify the DEST or TGN or both

D NET,ORIG=cpname DEST=cpname, TGN=tgnumber, APPNCOS=cos_name

Display transport resource list. MAX defaults to DSPLYDEF start option.

D NET,TRL MAX=number_to_display,TRLE=trl_entry_name

Display VTAM start options. There are many options for FUNCTION. APPNCHAR is specifically for start options that affect APPN.

D NET,VTAMOPTS FORMAT=CURRENT | COMPLETE | MODIFIED,OPTION=* | vtam option, FUNCTION=APPNCHAR

Note: E is the abbreviation for SCOPE=ALL, N for SCOPE=ONLY. Many commands default to

SCOPE=ONLY. Specifying E will give much more information.
