Auto-connecting MSF Sessions

As soon as the MSF START command has been issued, other systems can establish MSF sessions with the local system. This is true even when no other remote systems have been defined to the local system. An undefined remote system that tries to establish a session with the local system will automatically be defined in the local system as if an MSF DEFINE command of the following form was actually issued on the local system:

ADDRESS OPSCTL "MSF DEFINE MSFID(sysname) APPLID(vtamname) NORETRY"

The sysname operand is passed by the remote system to the local system when the MSF session is established. When using the LU 6.2 protocol, the vtamname operand is the application name by which the VTAM domain of the local system identifies the VTAM application of the remote system.
