Activating network resources

The VTAM® network must be active when the NCF application is started so that network resources are available for the NCF sessions. All participating NCF-application minor nodes must be activated before the NCF application is started by the tracker.

You activate VTAM® resources by entering the VARY NET command or by specifying automatic activation in the VTAM® network-definition procedure used during VTAM® startup. You can activate NCF-application minor nodes and CDRSC minor nodes directly, using the VARY ACT command. You can also activate them indirectly by activating their major nodes. For further information, see VTAM® Operation.
