4.2.2 Ensuring Name Resolution
The ANAME
application must be able to locate the
ANAMED
provider program to access the name-to-PLU mapping
(to locate the PLU). You can accomplish this in one of two ways:
• Specify the
-s option on the command line when adding a record (see Table 4–3, Options and Parameters Used
with ANAME Commands) to locate the provider program (
ANAMED).
• Create a side information record to locate the provider program (
ANAMED).
For example, if the
ANAMED provider program was on the LU called MYLU on the network called
MYNETWORK, the following creates an appropriate side information record:
snapadmin define_cpic_side_info, sym_dest_name=ANAMED,
partner_lu_name=MYNETWORK.MYLU, tp_name=ANAMED
4.2.3 Character Sets
Valid characters for all fields in
ANAME
include uppercase and lowercase A–Z, the numbers 0–9, and the special

characters for search routines. (See Section 4.2.8, Wildcards.)
• The period (.) character cannot be used as a value in group names or user names.
4.2.4 Removing a Name from the ANAME Database
The delete function enables you to remove a record or records from the ANAME database. Records are removed
only if the fully qualified LU name in the record matches the LU that you are currently using with the requester
program. For example, to delete all the records with the specified user name and the requester program’s current
fully qualified LU name, enter:
