APPN COS Definitions
The COS Definition panels allow the user to define Class of Service (COS) parameters. A
default COS data object contains five predefined COSs.
You may alter the parameters in the predefined COSs, but if you do, you must make the
corresponding COS changes in all APPN nodes in the Network. For nodes in the APPN
network that are LINCS nodes, the COS data object may be copied (manually or electronically)
from one node to the other. If a predefined COS is modified, the original values may be
reestablishing by pressing PF9-Default on a given panel.
In addition to the predefined COSs, eleven additional COSs may be defined. To add a user-
defined COS, press PF4-Add_COS while displaying any COS panel. A new COS will be
added and defaulted to the values of the _#BATCH COS, which can be named and modified.
When you define a new COS, you will advance through three panels. First for node
characteristics, then second and third panels for TG characteristics.
