Define GoalNet to VTAM

Each ISERVE that participates in GoalNet as a node requires a VTAM application ID (ACB). This ACB must be configured for LU 6.2 communications (APPC=YES). The node uses the ACB to establish conversations with other GoalNet nodes. Each conversation requires one VTAM session. During z/OS to z/OS operations, the conversation remains allocated for the duration of the communication. For operations where the target node is not executing under z/OS, the conversation terminates as soon as the request has been made to the remote node. If results need to be returned, a different conversation is allocated.
