up wildcard entries in the directory to indicate that all LUs in the range
are on the specified node.
To define a node and the LUs associated with it, use the following verb:
• DEFINE_ADJACENT_LEN_NODE
To obtain information about a specific node or LU entry in the database
(however, this verb cannot be used to return information about wildcard
entries), use the following verb:
• QUERY_DIRECTORY_ENTRY
To obtain information about a specific LU entry or wildcard entry in the
database, use the following verb:
• QUERY_DIRECTORY_LU
To obtain statistical information about directory entries, use the
following verb:
• QUERY_DIRECTORY_STATS
To delete a node and the LUs associated with it or to delete LUs from a
node entry, use the following verb:
• DELETE_ADJACENT_LEN_NODE
If the local node is an end node communicating with a LEN node, you
need to set up directory entries for the LEN node and its LUs, using the
verbs described above. For communications withother node types, you do
not need to set up directory entries because the node will locate these
resources dynamically as required (and add them to the directory so that
they can be used again).
However, you may want to set up entries for particular nodes or LUs so
that the local node can communicate with these resources without
having to search for them. Because setting up entries for particular
nodes or LUs overrides the normal APPN resource location process, you
can have problems at this node or at other nodes in the network if the
definitions are not correct. Do not define explicit entries for resources at
other nodes unless you are sure that the definitions are correct.
To define an individual node, LU, or wildcard entry for a range of LUs,
use the following verb:
• DEFINE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY
To delete an individual node, LU, or wildcard entry from the directory,
