APPN Topology Attributes

The APPN Topology attribute group contains attributes that you can use to monitor APPN nodes.


CPNAME The control point name for the node. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

Date and Time The date and time that the job entered the system. The valid value is a date and time in the format CYYMMDDHHmmSSmmm (For example, 0961002103000000 indicates a century bit of 0, a date of October 2, 1996, and a time of 10:30:00:000.)

NETID The network ID for the node. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

Node Congestion Indicates whether or not there is congestion for a node (indicates excessive traffic or excessive usage). The valid values include:

*YES

There is congestion for the node.

*NO

The node is not congested.

Node Type The type of APPN node. The valid values include:

*EN

Node is low entry networking or and APPN end node.

*NN

Node is an APPN networking node.

*VN

Node is an APPN virtual node.

ORIGINNODE The host name for the monitored system. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 64 characters.

TransGroup Controller Name The name of the controller description object for the transmission group. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters. If the field is blank, the transmission group is not associated with the local node.

TransGroup DestNode CPNAME The APPN transmission group control point name for the destination node. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

TransGroup DestNode NETID The APPN transmission group network ID for the destination node. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

TransGroup Number The APPN transmission group number that is used to identify a unique logical link between 2 nodes. The valid value is an integer in the range 0 through 2147483647.

TransGroup Operational The APPN transmission group status between two nodes. The valid values include:

*YES

Operational status between 2 nodes is yes.

*NO

Operational status between 2 nodes is no.

Time The time that the job entered the system. The valid value is a time in the format HHMMSS (For example, 103000 indicates a time of 10:30:00 a.m.)

Update Type Controls how the topology information is collected. The valid values include:

*CURRENT

Topology existed at the time the situation is first evaluated. Topology data is returned on the first evaluation only.

*UPDATED

A node or transmission group record was updated.

*DELETED

A node or transmission group was deleted. This situation raises only after the node has been deleted for at least 21 days.

*INSERTED

A new node or transmission group was added.
