How You Specify a Particular Route for INMC Traffic

This method applies only to links that use the VTAM access method.

To allocate an INMC session to a particular virtual route, a COS (Class of Service) definition is specified in the logmode table entry. A COS definition defines a list of virtual routes, in order of preference.

To enable the use of a COS definition, define the following logmode table entry:

MODEENT   LOGMODE=tablename, *
          FMPROF=X‘12’,      *
          TSPROF=X‘04’,      *
          PRIPROT=X‘F0’,     *
          SECPROT=X‘F0’      *
          RUSIZE=X‘8787’,    *(or as required)
          COMPROT=X‘0000’,   *
          COS=cosname

This logmode table entry is especially useful when using CA SOLVE:FTS. The entry helps ensure that data transfer does not compete with other traffic.

We recommend that when defining multipath links, you associate each session with a separate logmode table entry, which has a separate COS definition that defines a single virtual route.

Note: For more information about logmode table definitions, see the appropriate VTAM installation guides.
