Define the Coupling Facility Structure

When using CA TPX to operate as a VTAM generic resource, you need to define the Coupling Facility structure.

Note: To use this feature, CA TPX must run from an APF-authorized library.

To define the Coupling Facility structure

1. Open member CFSTRUCT in the CB0VJCL data set.
2. Define the name of your structure and its size. Note the structure name consists of two parts:
   • An eight-byte prefix, which cannot contain blanks.
   • The generic resource name used for all instances of the product. You may need more than one generic resource name.

   Note:

   Each generic resource name requires its own structure.

   For details on determining the structure storage requirements, see the Programming Guide.

3. Update the z/OS policy data set to reflect the definition of the structure.
4. Once CA TPX is installed and running, update the generic resource parameters using the System Options Table Menu and then recycle CA TPX. For more information, see the Administration Guide.
