Defining an LU 6.2 connection on z/OS

To define an LU 6.2 connection for a queue sharing group, certain attributes on the sending and receiving end must be configured.

For information about setting up APPC/MVS, see Set up communication for z/OS .

Connect to APPC/MVS (LU 6.2)

The connection name (CONNAME) field in the channel definition to connect to your queue sharing group must be set to the symbolic destination name, as specified in the side information data set for APPC/MVS. The partner LU specified in this symbolic destination must be the generic resource name. For more details, see Defining yourself to the network using generic resources.

Receive on LU 6.2 using a generic interface

Receive shared MCAs are started in response to a startup request from the sending channel. To do so, a group listener program must be started to detect incoming network requests and start the associated channel. The listener program is an APPC/MVS server. You start it with the START LISTENER command, using an inbound disposition group, or using the operations and control panels. We must specify the LU name to use a symbolic destination name defined in the side information data set. For more details, see Defining yourself to the network using generic resources.
