Using the NDT Record › NDT CPF Node Administrative Commands

NDT CPF Node Administrative Commands

CPF node definitions can be defined in the NDT record in the CA Top Secret security file. CPF nodes are grouped by system ID. The system ID entry contains the global system defaults for CPF processing. The sysid and node definitions are administered using the following commands:

TSS ADDTO(NDT) CPFSYSID(ssssssss)
                CPFTARGET(tttttttt)
                CPFWAIT(xxx)
                CPFRCVUND(xxx)
                RECVCMDS(xxx)
                CPFOUT(rrrrrrrr)

CPFSYSID(cpflocal)

Identifies the system name to contain identify the records. This matches the value placed in the CPFLOCAL control option.

CPFTARGET(*|LOCAL|AUTO)

Specifies the default value for the TSS command TARGET keyword.

Default: *

CPFWAIT(YES|NO)

Specifies the default value for the TSS command WAIT keyword.

Default: NO

CPFRCVUND(YES|NO)

Indicates whether the local node can receive commands from undefined nodes.

Default: NO

RCVCMDS(YES|NO)

Specifies that the activity for propagated commands received from remote nodes are logged to a journal file.

Default: YES

RECVDSN(dsname)

(Valid on z/OS only. ) Specifies a dataset used to hold log data when RECVCMDS(YES) is in effect.

CPFOUT(rrrrrrrr)

Specifies the z/VM userid the CPF journal files should be spooled to.

Node specific:

TSS ADDTO(NDT) CPFSYSID(ssssssss)
                CPFNODE(nnnnnnnn)
                ACTIVE(xxx)
                RECEIVE(xxx)
                SEND(xxxx)
                GATEWAY(xxx)
                BROADCAST(xxx)
                JOURNAL(xxx)
                JOURNALCLS(x)

CPFSYSID(cpflocal)

(Required) Identifies the system record to receive this node.

CPFNODE(nnnnnnnn)

(Required) Specifies the CPF node name.

Range: 1 to 8 characters

ACTIVE(YES|NO)

Specifies whether the node is available to send/receive commands and passwords.

Default: YES

RECEIVE(ALL|NONE)

Specifies if the local node can receive commands from that remote node.

Default: ALL

SEND(ALL|CMD|PWD|NONE)

Specifies if the local node can send commands to that node. CMD indicates that only administrative command changes are sent to that node. PWD indicates that only password changes and suspensions are sent to that node.

Default: ALL

GATEWAY(YES|NO)

Specifies a node to act as a CPF gateway or CPF server for another node.

Default: NO

BROADCAST(YES|NO)

Specifies that a node is valid to receive password and command changes that are sent to all nodes via TARGET(*) or the CPFTARGET(*) control option.. If NO is specified changes are only be sent when there are DEFNODES associated with the ACID or a node name is specified with the TARGET keyword.

Default: YES

JOURNAL(YES|NO)

Specifies that the activity for a CPF node is logged to a journal file and the log data is written to a SYSOUT file.

Default: YES

JOURNALDSN(dsname)

(Valid on z/OS only) Specifies a data used as a logging file when JOURNAL(YES) is in effect.

JOURNALCLS(x)

(Valid on z/VM only) Specifies the spool class used for this journal file.

Examples: using NDT CPF commands

This example adds a new system to the NDT:

TSS ADD(NDT) CPFSYSID(XA10)

This example adds a node to the new system:

TSS ADD(NDT) CPFSYSID(XA10) CPFNODE(NODE1)

This example removes a node definition:

TSS REMOVE(NDT) CPFSYSID(cpfsysid) CPFNODE(nodename)

This example lists the a specific CPF node definition:

TSS LIST(NDT) CPFNODE(nnnnnnn) CPFSYSID(mmmmmmm)

This example lists all nodes for a specific system:

TSS LIST(NDT) CPFSYSID(sysname)
