CICS fills in the group name and the CONNECTION identifier from the values you entered. On this screen and all other CICS screens, if a value must be selected from a list, the part of the list value that is uppercase serves as a short-name. For example, the ACcessmethod parameter has options of Vtam, IRc, INdirect, and Xm. To select Vtam, entering V is the same as entering VTAM.

Required parameters:

1. Connection is a 1-4 character nickname for this partner LU.
2. Netname is the PARTNERLU name. This must match the LUNAME defined for the corresponding workstation.
3. Protocol must be entered and must be APPC.
4. SInglesess must be set to NO. The example definitions in this guide all require parallel sessions.
5. The plus sign (+) indicates the bottom of the first screen displayed by CEDA. The function key settings are displayed at the bottom of the screen (but not shown here).

   Here the default, Local, means that any transaction that can be run by the default userid, CICSUSER, can be run by this partner LU.
