ATELL

Using ATELL

7 ATELL

APPC Tell (

ATELL) enables a workstation user to send a message to a workstation user on another machine.

ATELL

consists of two transaction programs:

•

ATELL

, which runs on the local machine (requester TP)

•

ATELLD, which runs on the remote machine (provider TP)

7.1 ATELL Conﬁguration

If you have not already done so, install the asuite.tps ﬁle as described in Section 1.2.2, Conﬁguring Your

System. This ﬁle provides the standard conﬁguration for the provider TPs.

7.2 Using ATELL

Use the following command syntax to invoke

ATELL

atell [Options] [UserID@]RemoteSystemID Message

The simplest way to use

ATELL is to specify only the destination and the message. For example:

atell RemoteSystemID Good Morning

This command sends the message Good Morning to the speciﬁed destination computer, where it is displayed.

The method used for displaying the message may vary depending on the remote operating system.

Security parameters may be required, depending on the conﬁguration of your system.

7.2.1 ATELL Parameters and Options

Following are the

ATELL parameters and options:

RemoteSystemID

This parameter identiﬁes the remote computer to which you want to send your message and where the

AREXECD provider program runs.

The RemoteSystemID (partner LU name) can be a fully qualiﬁed partner LU name (FQPLU), a CPI-C symbolic

destination name,oran

ANAME alias. If the RemoteSystemID is a CPI-C symbolic destination name, it can

be one to eight characters in length and must be conﬁgured on the local system.
