Create a class-of-service description

A class-of-service description tells the system which network nodes and transmission groups are acceptable and, of those acceptable, which are preferred during route selection. The descriptions can include information such as transmission priority, link speed, cost-per-connection time, and security. Class-of-service descriptions are used only by APPN and HPR.

To create a Class-of-service description, do the following:

  1. Type the Create Class-of-Service Description (CRTCOSD) command on any iSeries™ command line and press F4.
  2. Use the online help information to choose the parameter values.
  3. Press Enter. The class-of-service description is created.
