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