RESID Record

Use the RESID record to switch CA VM:Director server communications from IUCV to APPC.

RESID resourcename [GLOBAL [SSIONLY]]

Configuration File

RESID is defined in the PRODUCT CONFIG file.

Definitions

resourcename

Specifies the name of an APPC resource. This resource name must also be specified on an IUCV*IDENT statement in the product server directory entry.

GLOBAL

Specifies that the named resource is known globally throughout the TSAF or ISFC collection. The GLOBAL parameter must also be specified on an IUCV *IDENT statement in the product server directory entry, if this operand is present.

SSIONLY

Specifies that APPC connections to the RESID are only accepted from VM systems residing in the SSI cluster as the VM system hosting the product server virtual machine.

Description

The RESID record is required if you are using the IBM Systems Management Application Programming Interface (API). The Systems Management API server must use APPC communications to the CA VM:Director server.

Note: For more information about using and setting up the Systems Management API, see the appendix "Systems Management API Support" in the Administration Guide.

The RESID record, with the GLOBAL operand, is required if you are operating in a Single System Image complex. The product server virtual machines on every member system communicate with each other using APPC.
