RE: STRPASTHR question

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Be careful here.  Unless you have a very small or very new system, odds
are good that your Network Attributes are referenced in other places and
some things may not work after the change.

That said . . . On the remote system, you reference your 'local control
point name' on the APPC controller description.  This is the RMTCPNAME
parameter of the CRTCTLAPPC or CHGCTLAPPC commands.

Also on the remote system, you reference your 'default local location'
on the APPC device description.  This is the RMTLOCNAME parameter on the
CRTDEVAPPC or CHGDEVAPPC commands.

Under normal circumstances, you specify the 'remote location name' when
you issue the STRPASTHR command.  I don't believe that there is a
requirement that your location names match the Network Attributes.
There is a requirement that the remote and local location names match on
the respective device descriptions.  As a first cut, I would leave your
Network Attributes alone and recreate your APPC device descriptions,
substituting CUSTNAME for S123456 in the location name parameters.  This
would allow you to specify CUSTNAME as a target for your session without
encountering the potentially nasty side-effects of a global change in
your Network Attributes.  You will not be able to change the parameters
on the device descriptions, you will need to delete and recreate them.
Perhaps use the RTVCFGSRC command, and then change the relevant
parameter on both systems.
