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

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=

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.
