The SCOPE_NAME parameter specifies the name of a group to which the server belongs, enabling the server to participate in load balancing. A server can participate in a maximum of 10 scopes, or it can be unscoped.

The value is a 1- to 128-byte character string.

This parameter is optional.

Clients reach the SNA network through servers that are configured with the same scope or that are unscoped; clients must be configured to participate in load balancing through a single scope or through unscoped servers.
