LU 6.2 and TCP/IP listeners for queue sharing groups

The group LU 6.2 and TCP/IP listeners listen on an address that is logically connected to the generic address.

For the LU 6.2 listener, the specified LUGROUP is mapped to the VTAM generic resource associated with the queue sharing group. For an example of setting up this technology, see Defining an LU6.2 connection for z/OS using APPC/MVS.

For the TCP/IP listener, the specified port can be connected to the generic address in one of the following ways:

• For a front-end router such as the IBM® Network Dispatcher, inbound connect requests are forwarded from the router to the members of the queue sharing group.
• For TCP/IP Sysplex Distributor, each listener that is running and is listening on a particular address that is set up as a Distributed DVIPA is allocated a proportion of the incoming requests. For an example of setting up this technology, see Use Sysplex Distributor
