VTAM Generic Resource Name

If the APPLID parameter is specified in an EMAS complex, it specifies a common VTAM Generic Resource Name for the entire EMAS complex. So VTAM sessions are initiated to any of the EMAS members just by specifying the common VTAM Generic Resource Name in the session request.

When using the VTAM Generic Resource Name through default, VTAM tries to make the session with an EMAS member in the same MVS image. If that is not possible, it uses normal load balancing when passing the session request to one of the active EMAS members.
