so doing a DSPCMD for ADDNODLE
Command . . . . . . . : ADDNODLE
Program to process command . . . . . . : QFVNODAE
I looked for APIs starting with QFV
QFVADDA - Add Activity
QFVLSTA - List Activities
QFVLSTNL - List Node List Entries
QFVRMVA - Remove Activity
QFVRTVCD - Retrieve Change Request Description
Might they be part of the old SM1 "System Manager for i5/OS APIs" ?

Yep, been there, seen the movie. :)
Most have circular references for documentation. Like a high schooler who didn't read the book and tries to give a book report by paraphrasing the title.

Looks like *NODGRP is something different than *NODL
Initially I thought is was related to Db2 Multisystem as well.
But *NODL was introduced at least as far back as V2R3.

bob, I had not heard of them either.
from the help of the CRTNODGRP command:
Note: Node lists can be used by system functions to indicate an operation is to be performed on a set of systems.
also refers to manual "DB2 Multisystem for IBM i"

Hi came across an object type on #IBMI of *NODL "Node List" that contains Entries.
There seems to just be a designation of *IP or *SNA and a location name (or IP address) field in their entires.
Docs indicate it was introduced back in (at least) V2R3.
The question is, does anyone know what they're used for? I thought maybe it was database related for DDM but can't find any documentation on it beyond the CL commands which just have circular references and no definition.
This is just a curiosity as I never noticed this object type before.
Thanks
