Usage
The DEFINE command is used to define one or more transport manager subsystems that
support IMS components for one or more global service groups.
A START SYSTEM(name) command is required to start the TMS once it has been defined.
- SYSTEM
- Specifies the first portion (1 to 5 characters) of the VTAM
APPLID used by the other transport managers to which this transport
manager should connect. The name specified should match the SET APPLID. A system name that matches the APPLID of this transport
manager (specified on SET) causes an informational message to be issued; other system
names will continue to be processed.
Transport manager will not communicate with an LU whose name
has not been defined by a DEFINE SYSTEM command.
- STARTED
- Specifies that the system should be started automatically
when the TMS is started or (if the TMS is already started) when
the DEFINE command is processed.
STARTED is the default.
- STOPPED
- Specifies that the system should not be started automatically
when the TMS is started or (if the TMS is already started) when
the DEFINE command is processed.
