NODE Statement Usage

Defining a Node Table

At runtime, the node table determines the communication method used to access resources identified in the system generation RESOURCE TABLE statement.

If all database requests in your DC/UCF communications network occur within a single region, you do not have to explicitly code the NODE statement. The system automatically generates a node name entry in the node table of the system being defined with these characteristics:

• The node name is the system-name specified on the SYSTEM ID parameter of the SYSTEM statement
• The communication method is LOCAL

Defining Remote Nodes

For each DC/UCF system accessing resources located on a remote node, you must:

• Identify the resources and their location (node) using the RESOURCE TABLE statement
• Identify the communication method used by the system to access the node using the NODE statement
