How Session Start Notification Works

As part of session start notification, the following processing occurs:

  1. VTAM passes to NTS the SSCP name or names that identify the domain or domains in which the participating resources reside.
  2. If either resource does not reside in the local domain, NTS determines whether an ISR link to the NTS in the other domain exists.
  3. If there is a suitably configured link, NTS is able to solicit session data from the other domain; if not, data for the session will be incomplete.
  4. NTS then proceeds to classify the session using the DEFCLASS session definitions to determine the DEFCLASS SAW definition that controls data retention and logging options.
