96IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide

Optional Parameters

The following parameters are optional. Unless otherwise noted, the parameters apply to all remote node environments.

CLASS(n)

determines the node-to-node session on which a Sterling Connect:Direct operation can execute. The CLASS is a number from 1–255. If you do not specify the CLASS parameter, it defaults to the maximum number of sessions defined in the mode description for the communications environment.

Note: The CLASS parameter is not used by Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS.

CRC(*INITPARMS*NETMAP*OFF*ON)

Determines whether node and Process statement overrides for Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) are allowed. If this value is set to *OFF, setting overrides for CRC checking will be ignored. The default value is *INITPARMS.

*INITPARMS specifies that the CRC setting is determined by the value for the initialization parameter TCP.CRC.

*NETMAP specifies that the CRC setting is determined by the value for the NETMAP parameter, Cyclic Redundancy Check. The value for the initialization parameter TCP.CRC must be set to *ON and the value for the initialization parameter TCP.CRC.OVERRIDE must be set to *YES.

*OFF specifies that CRC is disabled.

*ON specifies that CRC is enabled.

NOTIFY(userid)

specifies the user ID on the local node to receive status messages that are directed to the message queue of the user.

PARM(parameters)

specifies the remote parameters needed for the program specified in the PGM parameter. This parameter is valid for tasks on z/OS, HP NonStop, VM, and VSE.

PLEXCLASS(user-defined class)

specifies a user-defined class containing up to eight characters associated with a Sterling Connect:Direct/Server in a Sterling Connect:Direct/Plex environment. This represents a type of server on which you want to run a task.

Note: This parameter is for use only in Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS environments.

PNAME(name)

identifies the Sterling Connect:Direct Process in any messages or statistics. The name is from 1 to 12 characters long. The first character must be alphabetic. The default name is CDSND.

Note: Only Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS and Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX support Process names with more than 8 characters.

PNODEID(id, pswd, newpswd)

specifies security user IDs and passwords at the local node. Only use this parameter to validate security with a different ID than the one you used to sign on to Sterling Connect:Direct.

id specifies the security ID passed to the security system at the local node (1–10 alphanumeric characters).
