JES Node Names and Transmission Site Names

Prior to ChangeMan ZMF 6.1 the values entered in the Logical Unit/System Name field in Global Administration Parameters and Global Site definitions were used for two purposes:

  • JES node name that specifies where a ChangeMan ZMF batch job is run for promotion or install.

  • Transmission site names that specify where install JCL, staging libraries, and package master records are transmitted from and to when they are distributed for installation.

Customers have noted that JES node names and transmission site names are not necessarily the same for a ChangeMan ZMF instance.

Since ChangeMan ZMF 6.1 this single field has been expanded and is now two fields: Site node name and Logical unit/system name on the Global Parameters - Part 1 of 8 panel (CMNGGP01).

  • Site node name - If this is a DP, P or D site, the 'Site Name' (specified in Global Administration 'SITE') where packages will be installed. If an A site, enter an easily recognizable name (city, department, etc.).

  • Logical unit/system name - If your data transmission vehicle is Connect:Direct® or BDT, enter the logical unitname (the name that Connect:Direct or BDT uses to identify this system). If IEBCOPY, enter the system name (e.g. 'SYSA').
