NOF API Verbs
DEFINE_LOCAL_LU
• The LU session limit must be greater than or equal to the sum of the session limits for all modes that the
LU will use.
def_data.default_pool
Specifies whether the LU is in the pool of default dependent LUs. For more information, see Section 3.28.7,
Default LUs. Possible values are:
AP_YES
The LU is in the pool of default LUs, and can be used by applications that do not specify an LU name.
AP_NO
The LU is not in the pool.
If the LU is an independent LU, this parameter is reserved.
def_data.pu_name
Name of the PU which this LU will use, as specified on the DEFINE_LS verb. This field is used only by
dependent LUs, and should be set to 8 binary zeros for independent LUs. The name is an 8-byte type-A
EBCDIC string (starting with a letter), padded on the right with EBCDIC spaces if necessary.
def_data.lu_attributes
Identifies additional information about the LU. Possible values are:
AP_NONE
No additional information identified.
AP_DISABLE_PWSUB
Disable password substitution support for the local LU. Password substitution means that passwords are
encrypted before transmission between the local and remote LUs, rather than being sent as clear text.
SNAplus2 normally uses password substitution if the remote system supports it.
This value is provided as a work-around for communications with some remote systems that do not im-
plement password substitution correctly. If you use this option, you should be aware that this involves
sending and receiving passwords in clear text (which may represent a security risk). Do not set it un-
less there are problems with the remote system’s implementation of password substitution.
def_data.sscp_id
Specifies the ID of the SSCP permitted to activate this LU. This ID is a 6-byte binary string. This parameter
is used only by dependent LUs, and is set to all binary zeros if the LU is an independent LU or if the LU
can be activated by any SSCP.
def_data.disable
Specifies whether the local LU should be disabled or enabled. Possible values are:
AP_YES
Disable the local LU.
AP_NO
Enable the local LU.
def_data.attach_routing_data.sys_name
The system name of the target computer for incoming Allocate requests (requests from a partner TP to start
an APPC or CPI-C conversation) that arrive at this local LU.
If the target TP is a broadcast queued TP (that is, servers are informed of its location when it starts, so that
they can route incoming Allocate requests to it), or if it always runs on the same SNAplus2 server as the
