Connection name (CONNAME)

Specifies the name of the machine to connect.

The possible values are:

*SAME

The attribute is unchanged.

*NONE

The connection name is blank.

connection-name

Specify the connection name as required by the transmission protocol:

• For *LU62, specify the name of the CSI object.

• For *TCP, specify either the host name, or the network address of the remote machine (or the local machine for cluster-receiver channels). This can be followed by an optional port number enclosed in parentheses.

  If a connection name is not specified for cluster-receiver channels a connection name is automatically generated, assuming the default port and using the current IP address of the system.

  Where a port is not specified the default port 1414 is assumed.

For cluster-receiver channels the connection name relates to the local queue manager, and for other channels it relates to the target queue manager.

This parameter is required for channels with channel type (CHLTYPE) of *SDR, *RQSTR, *CLTCN and *CLUSSDR. It is optional for *SVR and *CLUSRCVR channels, and is not valid for *RCVR or *SVRCN channels.
