Yes. Node(1) tells JES2 which what symbolic name you want for the MAS. It's been a long time since I dealt with connecting JES2 networks, but as I remember it, the name for your node should be relatively unique if you ever expect to connect multiple networks together - more important when those networks belong to other organizations than when they belong to a single conglomerate. You can avoid a lot of confusion that way. My personal recommendation for node names is to use the company name or stock id along with a numeric or location reference. Your chances of running into duplicate network names are greatly reduced. <begin ramble> For example, suppose you choose 'SYSA' as your node name and VTAM APPLID. Then suppose CompanyX wants to connect to your network to allow JES2 to send reports to them directly, but CompanyX also selected 'SYSA' as their node name and APPLID. One of you would have to change. Not so bad with single-node networks. Worse, suppose you already connected to dozens of other JES2 networks owned by other companies, and your node name and applid were 'NEWYORK'. Then you run into CompanyZ, which also has multiple connected JES2 systems with many other companies, one of which also elected to use the node name 'NEWYORK'. <end ramble> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
