96 IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide
Optional Parameters
The following parameters are optional. Unless otherwise noted, the parameters apply to all remote node
environments.
CLASS(n)
determines the node-to-node session on which a Sterling Connect:Direct operation can execute. The
CLASS is a number from 1–255. If you do not specify the CLASS parameter, it defaults to the
maximum number of sessions defined in the mode description for the communications environment.
CRC(*INITPARMS
|*NETMAP|*OFF|*ON)
Determines whether node and Process statement overrides for Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) are
allowed. If this value is set to *OFF, setting overrides for CRC checking will be ignored. The default
value is *INITPARMS.
*INITPARMS
specifies that the CRC setting is determined by the value for the initialization
parameter TCP.CRC.
*NETMAP specifies that the CRC setting is determined by the value for the NETMAP parameter,
Cyclic Redundancy Check. The value for the initialization parameter TCP.CRC must be set to *ON
and the value for the initialization parameter TCP.CRC.OVERRIDE must be set to *YES.
*OFF specifies that CRC is disabled.
*ON specifies that CRC is enabled.
NOTIFY(userid)
specifies the user ID on the local node to receive status messages that are directed to the message
queue of the user.
PARM(parameters)
specifies the remote parameters needed for the program specified in the PGM parameter. This
parameter is valid for tasks on z/OS, HP NonStop, VM, and VSE.
PLEXCLASS(user-defined class)
specifies a user-defined class containing up to eight characters associated with a Sterling
Connect:Direct/Server in a Sterling Connect:Direct/Plex environment. This represents a type of server
on which you want to run a task.
PNAME(name)
identifies the Sterling Connect:Direct Process in any messages or statistics. The name is from 1 to 12
characters long. The first character must be alphabetic. The default name is CDSND.
PNODEID(id, pswd, newpswd)
specifies security user IDs and passwords at the local node. Only use this parameter to validate
security with a different ID than the one you used to sign on to Sterling Connect:Direct.
id specifies the security ID passed to the security system at the local node (1–10 alphanumeric
characters).
Note: The CLASS parameter is not used by Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS.
Note: This parameter is for use only in Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS environments.
Note: Only Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS and Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX support
Process names with more than 8 characters.
