Snn

Syntax

Snn
  SID=cccc, 
  NJENAME=cccccccc

Description

The Snn statement is required to identify each system in a Multi-Access Spool (MAS) configuration.

The initialization data set for each system must contain the Snn statements of all systems in the configuration. Systems are numbered consecutively from one to thirty-two (S1-S32).

For example, if there are three systems (A158, B158, C158) in the configuration, the initialization data set for each system would contain the following statements:

S1 SID=A158
S2 SID=B158 
S3 SID=C158

The system identifier is specified by the following parameters:

Snn Parameters

This section describes the system identifier parameters and their defaults, if any.

SID=cccc

This parameter specifies the system identifier; cccc is the four-character alphanumeric name that was generated as the system management facility (SMF) system ID for this system.

Default: For a single system configuration, the system identifier for S1 defaults to the generated SMF system ID. For Multi-Access Spool (MAS) configurations, the system ID's must be specified for each system, and no default is permitted.

NJENAME=cccccccc

This optional parameter specifies the NJENAME of the system. If this parameter is used, it must be specified on all the Snn definitions, and all members of the configuration must have NJE connection to all the other systems.

Note: This parameter is used in EMAS systems.
