Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments only.

Sample parameters are shipped in xdblink.v100.PARAM(PARMTCP). This file member contains the following definitions.

Note:

Do not use commas or periods when assigning a numeric value to a parameter.

Parameter	Description
ORGANIZATION=	Specifies the organization ID of the owner of the XDB Link software license. The format is: ORGANIZATION=`org-id` where `org-id` is the organization ID. This parameter must be a string of up to 60 characters. There is no default.
PORT=	Specifies the port number that the Host Option will use. The format is: PORT=`port-number` where `port-number` is the number of the TCP/IP port dedicated to the XDB Link Host Option. This parameter must be an integer from 1 to 32767. There is no default.
BACKLOG=	Specifies the length of the backlog queue maintained in TCP/IP for connection requests that have not yet been assigned sockets by the listener. The format is: BACKLOG=`backlog-length` where `backlog-length` is the length of the backlog queue. This parameter must be an integer from 1 to 32767. The default is 5.
NETWORK ID=	Specifies the SSCP (system services control point) network ID for ACF/VTAM (the host node). The format is: NETWORK ID=`sscp-id` where `sscp-id` is the SSCP network ID. This must be a string of up to eight characters. There is no default.
LU6.2 APPLID=	Specifies the APPLID (LU or ACBNAME) for XDB Link. The format is: APPLID=`applid` where `applid` is the APPLID for XDB Link. This is a string of up to eight characters, and equals the ACBNAME defined for the VTAM application. There is no default.
APPLID PASSWORD=	Specifies the password of the APPLID defined in the PTRCT parameter of the VTAM APPLID definition. The format is: APPLID PASSWORD=`applid-pw` where `applid-pw` is the password. This must be a string of up to eight characters. There is no default.
TRACE=	Specifies the trace facility name. The format is: TRACE={GTF \| WTOR \| SYSPRINT} This parameter can be set to GTF, WTOR, or SYSPRINT trace facilities. There is no default.
EID=	Specifies the event ID of the GTF (Generalized Trace Facility) trace record. The format is: EID=`event-id` where `event-id` is the event ID of the GTF trace record. This must be a two-byte hexadecimal number (for example, 88FF), and it must match the USR value in the GTF trace parameter. There is no default.
TIME OUT FOR CONNECTION=	Specifies the timeout period used for the TCP/IP accept call to get the connection request. The format is: TIME OUT FOR CONNECTION=`timeout` where `timeout` is the time out for connection in minutes. This must be an integer from 1 to 32767. Zero (0) specifies no timeout. There is no default.
COMPRESS=	Not used.
ROUTE=	Specifies the WTO (Write To Operator) and WTOR (Write To Operator with Reply) console route parameters. ROUTE=(`number1`,`number2`) Refer to the MVS/ESA SP V5 Auth Assembler Services Reference manual (GC28-1478) for descriptions of the values and their valid ranges. There are no defaults.
PRODUCT PASSWORD=	Specifies the product password assigned for the software license. The format is: PRODUCT PASSWORD=`password` where `password` is the assigned product password. This is a six-byte hexadecimal number. The correct password will already be specified in this parameter, so there is no need for you to edit it. There is no default.
