Specifying AGNS

If a subsystem uses AGNs to secure dependent regions, you can use FMN1AGNT macro statements to specify the AGNs that you want FM/IMS to use when it accesses this subsystem in BMP mode. One FMN1AGNT macro statement is required for each AGN you want to specify. You use:
  • The AGN parameter to specify the Application Group Name.
  • The SSID parameter to specify the ID of the subsystem that the AGN is for.
  • The DESC parameter to specify a description of the AGN.
The AGN and SSID parameters are required. The DESC parameter is optional. For detailed information on how to code these parameters, see FM/IMS options.
Note: Specifying AGNs for a subsystem is optional unless you want to limit the AGNs that FM/IMS functions can use when accessing this subsystem in BMP mode, or you want users to be able to select from a list of AGNs when they specify this subsystem (and a BMP region type) on the FM/IMS function's entry panel.

You must, however, specify whether or not each subsystem uses AGNs to secure dependent regions. If a subsystem uses AGNs, specify UAGNS=Y on the FMN1POPI macro statement, or specify UAGNS=Y on the FMN1POPD macro statement and do not specify the UAGNS parameter on the FMN1POPI macro statement.

If a subsystem does not use AGNs, specify UAGNS=N on the FMN1POPI macro statement, or specify UAGNS=N on the FMN1POPD macro statement and do not specify the UAGNS parameter on the FMN1POPI macro statement, or do not specify the UAGNS parameter on the FMN1POPI and FMN1POPD macro statements.

Note: If the UAGNS parameter is not specified on the FMN1POPD and FMN1POPI macro statement, FM/IMS uses the default value, UAGNS=N, and any FMN1AGNT macro statements for the subsystem included in the FMN1POPT module are ignored.
