Summary

Privileges
User 0 or system manager
Function
Defines a group of parallel sessions and associates the group with the CNOS remote and SNA Communications Server mode name specified in this command

Syntax

DEFINE SESSIONGROUP name WITH SCOPE=SYSTEM REMOTE=rmtname MODENAME=modent MAXIMUM=xx WINNERS=yy

Where:

name is the locally known name for this entity. It is used on DEFINE PROCESSGROUP commands to refer to this sessiongroup. The length of the name must be eight characters or less. ALL is a reserved word and cannot be used.
SCOPE=SYSTEM indicates that the definition is available to all users of the Model 204 system for the entire run.
REMOTE specifies the name of the remote with which this sessiongroup is associated. This name must be the same as the remote name specified on a local DEFINE REMOTE command.
MODENAME refers to the SNA Communications Server mode table entry that identifies this sessiongroup. modent must be an entry in a SNA Communications Server mode table that the local LU (DEFINE LINK LOCALID) associated with this sessiongroup is authorized to search.

If you specify multiple sessiongroups for a given remote LU (that is, with the same REMOTE value), you must specify a unique MODENAME value for each one. Each sessiongroup is, therefore, distinguished by its unique pairing of remote LU and mode entry.

You cannot name your entry SNASVCMG; this name is reserved for CNOS control sessions between the local and remote LUs.

MAXIMUM specifies the maximum number of concurrent sessions that can be active between the local LU and the target remote LU. MAXIMUM must be greater than zero, greater than or equal to the value of WINNERS, and less than or equal to 32,767.
WINNERS specifies the maximum number of sessions for which this LU has the right to request an application conversation without permission (also called first-speaker sessions).

WINNERS must be greater than or equal to zero, less than or equal to the value of MAXIMUM, and less than or equal to 32,767.

The maximum number of sessions in which the remote node can be first speaker is equal to the difference between the values of MAXIMUM and WINNERS.

Syntax notes

You can specify multiple sessiongroups with the same remote, but each must have a different mode name.

Example

DEFINE SESSIONGROUP SESS1 WITH - SCOPE=SYSTEM - REMOTE=RMT1 - MODENAME=LU62C - MAXIMUM=10 - WINNERS=5

Usage notes

You can specify multiple sessionsgroups with the same remote, but each must have a different mode name.

Sessions in a sessiongroup use the CNOS session management protocol and have the same network properties (from a common remote and link) and the same session characteristics (from a common SNA Communications Server logmode entry).

The values you specify for MAXIMUM and WINNERS are maximums. CNOS negotiation rules determine the actual session limits and allotment of first-speaker sessions between the LUs sharing the sessions. Also, the two reserved CNOS control sessions are not included in CNOS session limit negotiation and should not influence your MAXIMUM and WINNERS specifications.

It is an error to issue DEFINE SESSIONGROUP for a sessiongroup defined previously during the run.
