Common NJE Node Name

To simplify NJE network configurations it is possible to operate an EMAS complex as one NJE node using a common NJE node name. This requires that a common VTAM Generic Resource name has been defined to the EMAS complex, so VTAM sessions to any of the EMAS members are initiated by making a session to the VTAM Generic Resource name.

If a VTAM Generic Resource name is defined and the NJENAME parameter is specified in the EMAS complex, the NJENAME parameter specifies a common NJE node name for the entire EMAS complex. Other external NJE nodes then just need one NJE connection to the EMAS complex. This NJE connection must specify the common NJENAME as the NJE node name and the common VTAM Generic Resource name as APPLID.

The members in an EMAS complex communicate using NJE connections. For these private NJE connections the individual Home Node NJE name and VTAM APPLID are being used.
