HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 NOF Programmer's Guide

NOF API Verbs
DEFINE_NODE
cp_create_parms.max_ls_exception_events
The maximum number of LS exception events to be recorded by the node.
cp_create_parms.ptf
Array for configuring and controlling future program temporary fix (ptf) operation, as follows:
cp_create_parms.ptf[0]
REQDISCONT support and Mandatory Search Status support.
SNAplus2 normally uses REQDISCONT to deactivate limited resource host links that are no longer required
by session traffic. This byte can be used to suppress use of REQDISCONT, or to modify the settings used
on REQDISCONT requests sent by SNAplus2. Set this byte to one of the following values:
AP_NONE
Use the normal REQDISCONT support.
AP_SUPPRESS_REQDISCONT
Do not use REQDISCONT.
AP_OVERRIDE_REQDISCONT
Use a modified version of REQDISCONT support. If REQDISCONT is specified, it must be combined
with one or both of the following values, using a logical OR operation:
AP_REQDISCONT_TYPE
Use type “immediate” on REQDISCONT; if this value is not specified, SNAplus2 uses type
“normal”.
AP_REQDISCONT_RECONTACT
Use type “immediate recontact” on REQDISCONT; if this value is not specified, SNAplus2 uses
type “no immediate recontact”.
AP_ALLOW_BB_RQE
SNAplus2 normally rejects, with sense code 2003, any begin bracket (BB) exception (RQE)
request from a host unless the host follows the SNA protocol that the request must also indicate
change direction (CD). Setting this flag enables SNAplus2 to continue sessions with hosts that
do not follow this protocol.
When SNAplus2 is running as an End Node or as a Branch Network Node, it may choose whether or not to
invite network searches from its Network Node Server (NNS). Requesting network searches slows broadcast
search processing for the network as a whole, so is undesirable. However, if the local node cannot register
all its resources (LUs) with its NNS, requesting searches is the only way to make these resources visible to
the network.
Normally, SNAplus2 determines whether all LUs can be registered, then intelligently requests network searches
from its NNS. If this node makes LUs accessible to the network in an unusual manner (for example, if it
is acting as a gateway for other nodes), combine the value above with the following value to override the
standard operation:
AP_SET_SEARCH_STATUS
Unconditionally request network searches from the NNS.
cp_create_parms.ptf[1]
ERP support. SNAplus2 normally processes an ACTPU(ERP) as an ERP; this resets the PU-SSCP session, but
does not implicitly deactivate the subservient LU-SSCP and PLU-SLU sessions. SNA implementations may
legally process ACTPU(ERP) as if it were ACTPU(cold), implicitly deactivating the subservient LU-SSCP
and PLU-SLU sessions. Set this byte to one of the following values:
