For information on setting up APPC/MVS, see Chapter 25, Setting up communication for z/OS.
The connection name (CONNAME) field in the channel definition to connect to your queue-sharing group should be set to the symbolic destination name, as specified in the side information data set for APPC/MVS. The partner LU specified in this symbolic destination should be the generic resource name. See Defining yourself to the network using generic resources for more details.
Receiving shared MCAs are started in response to a startup request from the sending channel. To do this, a group listener program has to be started to detect incoming network requests and start the associated channel. The listener program is an APPC/MVS server. You start it with the START LISTENER command, using an inbound disposition group, or using the operations and control panels. You must specify the LU name to use by means of a symbolic destination name defined in the side information data set. See Defining yourself to the network using generic resources for more details.
