AUTO_ACTIVATE_SUPPORT

Required? No
Keyword Type Boolean
Multiples Allowed? No, only one for each LINK_STATION keyword
   AUTO_ACTIVATE_SUPPORT = (

    )
The AUTO_ACTIVATE_SUPPORT parameter specifies whether the link is activated automatically when required by a session. Valid values are:
0
The link is not activated automatically.
1
The link is activated automatically when required by a session.

This parameter is optional.

If the link is not to an APPN® node, this parameter can always be specified as 1.

If the link is to an APPN® node, this parameter can not be specified as 1 if the link also supports CP-CP sessions. The parameter can be set to 1 if TG_NUMBER is defined for the link, and the specified value of TG_NUMBER is between 1 and 20. This allows an inactive link configured with AUTO_ACTIVATE_SUPPORT to be used when determining the best route for a session, then activating the link when it is needed. TG numbers are normally assigned only to active links (TGs).
