4.2 Using ANAME
The ANAME
database contains all of the names that are available on the
ANAME network.
• The location of the database is identified in the anamed.ini file.
• Users can create and delete entries associated with their local LU.
• The administrator for
ANAME can manage entries for any user.
The four fields that are contained in a record in the database are as follows:
User name
Specify this value when you register with
ANAME. Your user name should be an easy-to-remember, unique
nickname for the fully qualified LU name that identifies you to others in the
ANAME network.
Fully qualified LU name
The fully qualified LU name associated with this particular record. SNAplus2 takes this from the name of
the local LU that you are using with the
ANAME application. This is normally the default LU associated with
the local node (the control point LU), unless you have set the APPCLLU environment variable to specify
a particular local LU. Alternatively, if you are logged in as the System Administrator, you can use the -
f
LUname option on the command line to specify a particular local LU name.
Group name
Optionally, specify this value when you register with
ANAME. There are no restrictions on the number of
instances of the same group name or on the number of users registered as members of one group. Several
users can register with the same group name. Typically, all members of a department or team register as part
of a particular group.
