• QUERY_PARTNER_LU, QUERY_PARTNER_LU_DEFINITION
If the local application communicates with its partner using one of the
standard SNA-defined modes, you do not need to define a mode.
However, you may want to define additional modes for applications that
have particular requirements not covered by the standard modes. To
define a mode, use the following verb:
• DEFINE_MODE
To define or query the default mode, which specifies parameters that will
be used for any unrecognized mode name, use the following verbs:
• DEFINE_DEFAULTS, QUERY_DEFAULTS
The class of service (COS) used for a mode is normally one of the
standard SNA-defined classes of service. However, the node can be
configured to support mapping each mode to a specific COS (the
mode_to_cos_map_supp parameter on the DEFINE_NODE verb). In this
case, you may want to define additional COSs for applications that have
particular requirements not covered by the standard COSs. To define a
COS, use the following verb:
• DEFINE_COS
To specify the default COS to which any unrecognized modes will be
mapped, use the following verb:
• DEFINE_MODE
To obtain information about the definition or current usage of a mode,
about the COS used by a mode, or about the definition of a COS, use the
following verbs:
• QUERY_MODE_DEFINITION, QUERY_MODE,
QUERY_MODE_TO_COS_MAPPING
• QUERY_COS, QUERY_COS_NODE_ROW, QUERY_COS_TG_ROW
If the local and partner LUs use session-level security, you need to define
the password used to establish a session between the local LU and
partner LU. To define the password, check the current definition, or
delete the password when it is no longer required, use the following
verbs:
• DEFINE_LU_LU_PASSWORD, QUERY_LU_LU_PASSWORD,
DELETE_LU_LU_PASSWORD
