VTAM APPL Statement—Define CA OPS/MVS to VTAM

On each system, CA OPS/MVS needs only one APPL statement that uses the following format:

netname APPL  APPC=YES,
               AUTH=ACQ,
               AUTOSES=1,
               DSESLIM=3,
               DMINWNL=1,
               DMINWNR=1,
               MAXPVT=512K,
               MODETAB=modetab,
               PARSESS=YES,
               PRTCT=vtampswd

For information on valid values for the parameters in the above APPL statement, see the VTAM documentation.

The following example APPL definitions are provided in member OPSAPPL of the SYS1.OPS.CNTL data set. They assume you have a network with z/OS systems (A, B, and C) that can all support cross-domain sessions to each other.

Example 1: This APPL statement appears only in the SYS1.VTAMLST of system A.

OPSMAINA APPL  APPC=YES, 
               AUTH=ACQ, 
               AUTOSES=1 
               DSESLIM=3 
               DMINWNL=1,
               DMINWNR=1,
               MODETAB=MTLU62,
               PRTCT=OPSMVS,
               MAXPVT=512K,
               PARSESS=YES

Example 2: This APPL statement appears only in the SYS1.VTAMLST of system B

OPSMAINB APPL  APPC=YES,
               AUTH=ACQ,
               AUTOSES=1
               DSESLIM=3
               DMINWNL=1,
               DMINWNR=1,
               MODETAB=MTLU62,
               PRTCT=OPSMVS,
               MAXPVT=512K,
               PARSESS=YES

Example 3: This APPL statement appears only in the SYS1.VTAMLST of system C

OPSMAINC APPL  APPC=YES,
               AUTH=ACQ,
               AUTOSES=1
               DSESLIM=3
               DMINWNL=1,
               DMINWNR=1,
               MODETAB=MTLU62,
               PRTCT=OPSMVS,
               MAXPVT=512K,
               PARSESS=YES
