Adding NCF to the VTAM® network definitions

You must define NCF as a VTAM® application on both the controlling system and each controlled system. Before defining NCF, select names for the NCF applications that are unique within the VTAM® network.

To define NCF as an application to VTAM®:

Add the NCF applications to the application node definitions, using APPL statements.
Add the application names that NCF is known by, in any partner systems, to the cross-domain resource definitions. Use cross-domain resource (CDRSC) statements to do this.

You must do this for all systems that are linked by NCF.

The application node and the cross-domain resource definitions are stored in the SYS1.VTAMLST data set, or in members of a data set that is in the same concatenation as SYS1.VTAMLST. For a detailed description of defining application program major nodes and cross-domain resources, see VTAM® Resource Definition Reference.

The following example illustrates the definitions needed for a cross-domain setup between a controller and a tracker.

Note:

HCL Workload Automation for Z requires that the application name and the ACBNAME are the same.
IS1ZOS1 and IS1ZOS2 are only sample names.

At the controller:

Define the NCF controller application. Add a VTAM® APPL statement like this to the application node definitions:

controller VTAM applications
VBUILD TYPE=APPL
 OPCCONTR APPL   VPACING=10,                                         C
                 ACBNAME=OPCCONTR

Define the NCF tracker application. Add a definition like this to the cross-domain resource definitions:
```
controller VTAM cross-domain resources
VBUILD TYPE=CDRSC
 OPCTRK1  CDRSC  CDRM=IS1ZOS2
```

At the tracker:

Define the NCF tracker application. Add a VTAM® APPL statement like this to the application node definitions:

tracker VTAM applications
VBUILD TYPE=APPL
 OPCTRK1  APPL   ACBNAME=OPCTRK1,                                    C
                 MODETAB=EQQLMTAB,                                   C
                 DLOGMOD=NCFSPARM

Define the NCF controller application. Add a CDRSC statement like this to the cross-domain resource definitions:
```
tracker VTAM cross-domain resources
VBUILD TYPE=CDRSC
 OPCCONTR CDRSC  CDRM=IS1ZOS1
```

IS1ZOS1 and IS1ZOS2 are the cross-domain resource managers for the controller and the tracker, respectively.

At the Datastore:

Define the NCF Datastore application. Add a VTAM® APPL statement like this to the application node definitions:

Datastore VTAM applications                                  
  VBUILD TYPE=APPL                                             
   OPCDST1 APPL ACBNAME=OPCDST1,                              C
                MODETAB=EQQLMTAB,                             C
                DLOGMOD=NCFSPARM

Define the NCF controller application. Add a CDRSC statement like this to the cross-domain resource definitions:

Datastore VTAM cross-domain resources                        
  VBUILD TYPE=CDRSC                                            
   OPCCONTR CDRSC CDRM=IS1ZOS1
