2 Administration Commands

This chapter provides reference information about administration commands used for conﬁguring, deﬁning, deleting,

querying, checking status, starting, and stopping the following resources: local nodes, connectivity components,

directory entries, network topology (query only), type 0–3 LUs and pools, 3270 and 5250 users, 3270 domain

resources, and RJE workstations. The commands are listed in alphabetical order.

2.1 activate_session

The activate_session command requests SNAplus2 to activate a session between the local LU and a speciﬁed

partner LU, using a speciﬁed mode. You must issue an initialize_session_limit command before issuing

an activate_session command unless the

cnos_permitted parameter is set to YES.

This command must be issued to a running node.

2.1.1 Supplied Parameters

Parameter name Type Length Default

[activate_session]

lu_name character 8 (null string)

lu_alias character 8 (null string)

plu_alias character 8 (null string)

mode_name character 8

fqplu_name character 17 (null string)

polarity constant POL_EITHER

cnos_permitted constant YES

Supplied parameters are:

lu_name

LU name of the local LU. This name is a type-A character string. To indicate that the LU is deﬁned by its

LU alias instead of its LU name, do not specify this parameter.

lu_alias

LU alias of the local LU. This alias is a character string using any locally displayable characters. This

parameter is used only if lu_name is not speciﬁed.

If lu_name and lu_alias are not speciﬁed, the command is forwarded to the LU associated with the CP (the

default LU).

plu_alias

LU alias of the partner LU. This alias is a character string using any locally displayable characters. To

indicate that the partner LU is deﬁned by its fully qualiﬁed LU name instead of its LU alias, do not specify

this parameter.

mode_name

Name of the mode to be used by the LUs. This name is a type-A character string starting with a letter.

fqplu_name

Fully qualiﬁed name of the partner LU. Specify 3–17 type-A characters that consist of a 1–8 character network

name, followed by a period, followed by a 1–8 character partner LU name.

This parameter is used only if the plu_alias parameter is not speciﬁed; it is ignored if plu_alias is speciﬁed.
