Network Attributes

The Network attribute group contains attributes that you can use to monitor networks and network communications.


Alert Backup Focal Point Identifies the system that provides alert focal-point services if the local system is unavailable and ALRPRIFP is *YES. The backup focal point is only used by systems in the primary sphere of control. The valid values include:

Alert Controller The name of the controller to be used for alerts in a system service control point-physical unit (SSCP-PU) session. The controller is ignored if the system has a focal point, the node is in the control of another system. The valid values include:

Alert Default Focal Point Specifies whether or not the system is an alert default focal point. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 10 characters.

Alert Filter The name of the filter object that is used by the alert manager when processing alerts. The valid values include:

Alert Hold Count The maximum number of alerts to be created before the alerts are sent over the system service control point-physical unit (SSCP-PU) session. The system holds alerts until the number of alerts is created. If the Alert Controller (ALTCTLD) attribute is used to send alerts using the SSCP-PU session, alerts are sent automatically, regardless of the ALRHDCNT attribute, when a switched connection is made for other reasons. The valid values include:

Alert Log Status Indicates which alerts are to be logged. The valid values include:

*ALL

Both locally created alerts and incoming alerts are logged.

*LOCAL

Only locally created alerts are logged.

*NONE

No alerts are logged.

*RCV

Only alerts received from other nodes are logged.

Alert Primary Focal Point Specifies whether or not the system is an alert primary focal point. The valid values include:

*YES

The network is an alert primary focal point.

*NO

The network is not an alert primary focal point.

Alert Request Focal Point Specifies the name of the system that is requested to provide focal point services. If a focal point is already defined for the entry point, it is taken away when the new focal point is requested. The valid values include:

Alert Status Indicates how the alerts are created. The valid values include:

*OFF

Alerts are not created by the system.

*ON

Alerts are created by a system for all changeable conditions except unattended conditions.

*UNATTEND

Alerts are created by the system for all alert conditions including those that have the alert indicator in the message description set to *UNATTEND.

APPN Node Type The type of advanced peer-to-peer networking (APPN) node. The valid values include:

*ENDNODE

The node does not provide network services to other nodes, but it may participate in the APPN network by using the services of an attached network server, or it may operate in a peer environment similar to migration end nodes.

*NETNODE

The node provides intermediate routing, route selection services, and distributed directory services for local users and to the end nodes and migration end nodes that it serves.

Current System Name The name of the system that is currently being used. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

Default Local Location Name The name of the default local location for the system. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

Default Mode The name of the default mode for the system. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

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

Local NETID The ID assigned to the local network for the system. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.

Max Intermediate Sessions The maximum number of advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) intermediate sessions for an Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) node type of *NETNODE. The valid value is an integer in the range 0 through 10000.

Message Queue The name of the message queue used for messages received through the SNA distribution services (SNADS) network sent for users who have no message queue specified in their user profile, or users whose message queue is not available. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 20 characters. (The first 10 characters are the message queue name, and the last 10 characters are the library name.)

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

Output Queue The name of the output queue used for spooled files received through the SNA distribution services (SNADS) network sent for users whose output queue is not available. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 20 characters. (The first 10 characters are the output queue name and the last 10 characters are the library name.)

Pending System Name If a change is pending, this is the pending system's name. A blank indicates that no change is pending. The valid value is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters.
