Parameter descriptions

(name)
Name of the listener to be started. If you specify this parameter, you cannot specify any other parameters.

If you do not specify a name (on platforms other than z/OS), the SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LISTENER.TCP is started.

This parameter is not valid on z/OS.

CMDSCOPE
This parameter applies to z/OS only and specifies how the command is executed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group.

' '
The command is executed on the queue manager on which it was entered. This is the default value.
qmgr-name
The command is executed on the queue manager you specify, providing the queue manager is active within the queue-sharing group.

You can specify a queue manager name, other than the queue manager on which the command was entered, only if you are using a queue-sharing group environment and if the command server is enabled.

INDISP
Specifies the disposition of the inbound transmissions that are to be handled. The possible values are:
QMGR
Listen for transmissions directed to the queue manager. This is the default.
GROUP
Listen for transmissions directed to the queue-sharing group. This is allowed only if there is a shared queue manager environment.
This parameter is valid only on z/OS.
IPADDR
IP address for TCP/IP specified in IPv4 dotted decimal, IPv6 hexadecimal notation, or alphanumeric form. This is valid only if the transmission protocol (TRPTYPE) is TCP/IP.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

LUNAME(string)
The symbolic destination name for the logical unit as specified in the APPC side information data set. (This LU must be the same LU that is specified in the channel initiator parameters to be used for outbound transmissions.)

This parameter is valid only for channels with a transmission protocol (TRPTYPE) of LU 6.2. A START LISTENER command that specifies TRPTYPE(LU62) must also specify the LUNAME parameter.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

PORT(port-number)
Port number for TCP. This is valid only if the transmission protocol (TRPTYPE) is TCP.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

TRPTYPE
Transport type to be used. This is optional.
TCP
TCP. This is the default if TRPTYPE is not specified.
LU62
SNA LU 6.2.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.
