GOALNET

Use the GOALNET parameter, specified several times, to define your GoalNet configuration to CA‑GSS.

Syntax

Use this format for the GOALNET parameter.

GOALNET node LUNAME luname[,pswd] MODE mode connect

[SESS {total[,win[,lose]}]
      {SINGLE}]

Arguments

The arguments that follow the GOALNET verb are positional and must be specified in the order presented next.

Argument

Description

Node

An arbitrary but unique name to be assigned to the node. This name will be used by IMODs to specify destinations. Node names can be from 1 - 16 alphanumeric characters in length.

Luname

The VTAM luname that is the application ID used to identify the ACB to communicate with VTAM. Also used by other GoalNet nodes to establish communication with this node.

Pswd

The VTAM application password that VTAM requires before an ACB can be opened. Only code a value if VTAM requires it and this node is to be the local node (specified in the GOALNETLOCAL parameter). If no password is required, omit the field.

Mode

The VTAM logmode entry that is used for communications targeted to the node being defined. The logmode entry must be defined in the VTAM logmode table associated with the VTAM APPLID definition. The default is GOALNET.

connect

Controls how this node will connect to the network. The following options are defined:

ATINIT The node is connected when ISERVE is
initialized.

JOIN The node is connected when the GOALNET
JOIN operator command is entered.

ONCMD The node is connected when the GOALNET
START node operator command is issued,
where node is the name of an individual node.

SESS

Total number of sessions that can be requested with the GoalNet partner. The following options are defined:

total,win,lose

total is the total number of sessions permitted with the node. By default, this value is 50 for a TYPE value of GSS and 2 for all other types. Coding SINGLE for the value marks the node as single-session capable.

win is the total number of contention-winner sessions permitted with the node. By default, this value is half the value of total rounded down.

lose is the total number of contention-loser sessions permitted with the node. By default, it is the value of total less the value of win.

SINGLE Indicates that the partner node is single-session capable; assumes a value of 1 for total.
