DEFNODES Keyword—Default Remote Nodes

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the DEFNODES keyword to maintain a list of default routing nodes for an individual ACID. The list is consulted when:

• The CPFTARGET control option is set to AUTO and no TARGET is specified when the command is issued
• The CPFTARGET control option is set to * and TARGET(SELECT) is specified when the command is issued

The DEFNODES keyword is only used when the list itself is being designated (through the initial TSS CREATE for the ACID or through a subsequent TSS ADDTO) or updated. Otherwise, the list is consulted by default when both of the above conditions apply.

If CPFTARGET is set to AUTO and no TARGET is specified but the ACID has no DEFNODES, the command propagates to those nodes identified by the CPFNODES control option.

The DEFNODES list can be assigned to an ACID from the initial CREATE statement or it can be added later.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) DEFNODES(oper,oper,...)

You can specify up to five nodes per command.

This keyword is used with:

• The commands ADDTO, CREATE, REMOVE, and REPLACE
• The ACID types User, Profile, Department, Division, Zone, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
• ACID(DEFNODES) authority
