Create the controller description (Chicago to Minneapolis) in multiple-system
network
Because this is an APPN environment (iSeries system to iSeries system), the controller
is an APPC controller and the CRTCTLAPPC command is used to define the attributes
of the controller. The following attributes are defined by the example command:
- CTLD(MPLSL)
- The name assigned to the controller description is MPLSL.
- LINKTYPE(*SDLC)
- Because this controller is attached through an SDLC communications line,
the value specified is *SDLC. This value must correspond to the type of line
being used as defined by a create line description command.
- LINE(MPLSL)
- Specifies the name (MPLSL) of the line description to which this controller
is attached. This value must match a name that is specified by the LIND parameter
in a line description.
- RMTNETID(APPN)
- The name of the network in which the remote control point resides is
APPN.
- RMTCPNAME(MPLS)
- Specifies that the remote control-point name is MPLS. The name specified
here must match the name that is specified at the remote system for the local
control-point name. In the example, the name is specified at the remote system
(NEWYORK) by the LCLCPNAME parameter on the Change Network Attributes (CHGNETA)
command.
- STNADR(01)
- The address assigned to the remote controller is hex 01.
- NODETYPE(*NETNODE)
- Specifies that the remote location (MPLS) is an APPN networking node.
