HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 NOF Programmer's Guide

NOF API Verbs
QUERY_NODE
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 Nodeor 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), the value above is combined 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. Possible values:
AP_NONE
Use the normal processing.
AP_OVERRIDE_ERP
Process all ACTPU requests as ACTPU(cold).
cp_create_parms.ptf[2]
BIS support. SNAplus2 normally uses the BIS protocol prior to deactivating a limited resource LU 6.2 session.
Possible values:
AP_NONE
Use the normal processing.
AP_SUPPRESS_BIS
Do not use the BIS protocol. Limited resource LU 6.2 sessions are deactivated immediately using
UNBIND(cleanup).
cp_create_parms.ptf[3]
APINGD support. SNAplus2 normally includes a partner program for the APING connectivity tester. This
byte allows you to disable the APING Daemon within the node, so that requests by an APING program
arriving at the node will not be processed automatically. Possible values:
AP_NONE
