To increase the limit of 16 character names (SNODEs) in the network map Merged

Good morning

Most of our transactions used in our transmission central services are using DNS value so the CDZ limit of 16 character defined in the network map is affecting us.

Most of our DNSs are larger than 16 chars.

So we need to do an extrapolation work to reduce their names and to develop an external translation table with the relation of large DNS (real) & short DNS (used in netmap).




https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cpl?topic=parameters-sterling-connectdirect-zos-process

SNODE = secondary-node-name | SNODE = TCPNAME = tcpvalue;port | SNODE = UDT33NAM = udtvalue;port

specifies the secondary node in the Process.

Note: The default SNODE value is the value specified in the Process statement. The Process statement value can be overridden by the SNODE value specified in the SUBMIT command. If SNODE is specified in the Submit command, it is not required in the Process statement.

secondary-node-name is a 1-16 character alphanumeric name that is defined in the network map. The following characters are allowed:

A-Z, 0-9, !, @, #, $, %, &, {, }, +, -, and ^

Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS does not accept the following characters for the adjacent node:

(, ) =, \, ", ', <, >, |, ||

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

If this limit increases its value (for example 72 positions), we will avoid the extrapolation work to reduce their names and to maintain ad-hoc development doing an external translation table with the relation of large DNS (real) & short DNS (used in netmap).
