HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 APPC Application Suite User's Guide

APPC Application Suite for HP-UX Programs
Configuring Your System for APPC Application Suite
• Define the target TP for each provider program to require conversation security (and optionally specify the
security access list).
For more information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide.
If the provider programs on the remote system are set up to require conversation security, the user of a requester
program on the local system must specify a user ID and password. For the
AFTP application, these parameters are
specified while using
AFTP
to log in to the remote system; for all other APPC Application Suite applications, these
parameters are specified using command-line options. See the description of each individual application for more
information.
Configuring Requester Programs (Applications)
All of the APPC Application Suite applications use LU 6.2 sessions to communicate with their partner applications
on the destination nodes. To establish an LU 6.2 session with the partner application, you must supply the following
parameters:
Remote TP name (RTPN)
The RTPN enables the local application to identify the remote application. By default, each application uses
the standard RTPN for its partner application, but you can override this value by using the application’s
command line options.
Mode name
The local application must provide an SNA mode name for use by the session. The same mode name must
be defined on the remote system. By default, each application provides a mode name, but you can override
this value by using the application’s command line options.
Partner LU name
The local application must specify the LU on the remote system that handles requests for the remote TP.
Specify the partner LU name (which is called the RemoteSystemID in the syntax statements) by specifying
one of the following destination names on the command line:
• Fully qualified partner LU name (FQPLU)
• CPI-C symbolic destination name
•
ANAME
alias
(For more information, see Section 1.2.2, Configuring Your System.)
Destination Names
Enter one of the following destination names on the command line to specify the partner LU name (which is called
the RemoteSystemID in the syntax statements):
Fully qualified partner LU name (FQPLU)
You can explicitly specify the partner LU name as the FQPLU in the form NetworkName.LUName. In this
case, the application either uses the default mode name and RTPN values or the values you specify by using
the application’s command line options.
For example, to establish an
APING session with the LU called LUNAME7 on the SNA network NETID, enter
the following on the command line:
aping NETID.LUNAME7
CPI-C symbolic destination name
You can supply the partner LU name by specifying a CPI-C symbolic destination name. The CPI-C symbolic
destination name is the name of a CPI-C side information record; see HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide
for details of how to configure this.
By using the CPI-C symbolic destination name, the application locates the appropriate side information record
and uses the information contained in it to determine the partner LU address.
