FEPI INSTALL NODELIST

Function

FEPI INSTALL NODELIST defines new nodes to FEPI. You may specify initial service and acquire states for these new nodes. A node cannot be used for a conversation until it has been acquired, put in service, and added to a pool so that it is connected to a target. The command completes when the nodes have been defined without waiting for the requested states to be achieved.

Options

ACQSTATUS(cvda)
specifies the initial acquire state of the nodes being defined. All nodes in the list have the same state. The relevant CVDA values are:
ACQUIRED
The VTAM® ACB for the node is to be opened and ‘set logon start’ is to be done.
RELEASED
The VTAM ACB for the node is not to be opened.
NODELIST(data-area)
specifies a contiguous array of 8-character node names (that is, VTAM application minor node names in the front-end) to be defined. Names must not contain null characters (X'00'), leading blanks, or embedded blanks.
NODENUM(fullword binary data-value)
specifies the number of names in NODELIST, in the range 1-256.
PASSWORDLIST(data-value)
specifies a contiguous array of 8-character passwords. They correspond one-to-one with the node names in NODELIST. The passwords are those that VTAM requires to access the application minor nodes. They are not required if passwords are not used. You can use a value of 8 null characters (X'00') to indicate ‘no password’.
SERVSTATUS(cvda)
specifies the initial service state of the nodes being defined. All nodes in the list have the same state. The relevant CVDA values are:
INSERVICE
The nodes are in service and can be used in a conversation.
OUTSERVICE
The nodes are out of service and cannot be used for any conversation.
