NOF API Verbs (ACTIVATE_SESSION to OPEN_FILE)
APING
Chapter 3132
pwd
Password required to access the partner TP; this
parameter is required only if the security parameter is
set to AP_PGM. This is a 10-byte type-AE EBCDIC
character string, padded on the right with EBCDIC
spaces if the password is shorter than 10 bytes.
user_id
User ID required to access the partner TP; this
parameter is required only if the security parameter is
set to AP_SAME or AP_PGM. This is a 10-byte type-AE
EBCDIC character string, padded on the right with
EBCDIC spaces if the user ID is shorter than 10 bytes.
dlen
Length of the data string to be sent to the partner LU.
(The NOF API application does not need to provide a
data string; the APING TP simply sends a string of
zeros of the specified length.)
consec
Number of consecutive data strings sent to the partner
LU during each iteration. The APING TP sends this
number of data strings, each containing the number of
bytes specified by the dlen parameter. It then requests
either data or a confirmation message from the partner
TP, depending on the setting of the echo parameter.
fqplu_name
Fully qualified network name for the partner LU. This
parameter is used only if the plu_alias field is set to 8
binary zeros, and is ignored otherwise. This should be
the name of an LU on a remote node; you are not
recommended to use APING with a partner LU on the
local node.
The name is a 17-byte EBCDIC string, right-padded
with EBCDIC spaces. It consists of a network ID of up
to 8 A-string characters, an EBCDIC dot (period)
character, and a network name of up to 8 A-string
characters.
