HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 NOF Programmer's Guide
NOF API Verbs
QUERY_NODE
Include APINGD support within the node (the normal processing).
AP_EXTERNAL_APINGD
Disable APINGD within the node.
cp_create_parms.ptf[4]
LU 0–3 RU checks. This byte is used to provide workarounds for host systems that send non-standard SNA
data; it should be set to
AP_NONE unless you have encountered the specific problem described below.
The value AP_NONE indicates SNAplus2’s normal checking on LU 0–3 RUs.
If specific checks on LU 0–3 RUs have been relaxed, the following value is returned:
AP_ALLOW_BB_RQE
The SNA protocols state that BB !EB RUs on LU 0–3 PLU-SLU sessions must be RQD. Several hosts
send RQE BB !EB CD - a protocol violation which SNAplus2 always tolerates. If this value is set,
SNAplus2 will tolerate RQE BB !EB !CD EC RUs as well.
cp_create_parms.ptf[5]
Security checking for received Attaches.
If a local invokable TP is defined not to require conversation security, or is not defined and therefore defaults
to not requiring conversation security, the invoking TP need not send a user ID and password to access it.
If the invoking TP supplies these parameters and they are included in the Attach message that SNAplus2
receives, SNAplus2 normally checks the parameters (and rejects the Attach if they are not valid) even though
the invokable TP does not require conversation security. This parameter allows you to disable the checking.
Possible values:
AP_NONE
Always check security parameters if they are included on a received Attach, regardless of the security
requirements of the invokable TP (the normal processing).
AP_LIMIT_TP_SECURITY
Do not check security parameters on a received Attach if the invokable TP does not require it.
cp_create_parms.ptf[6]
RTP options for HPR.
The value AP_NONE indicates SNAplus2’s normal RTP processing.
For customized RTP operation, the following value is returned:
AP_FORCE_STANDARD_ARB
SNAplus2 normally advertises support on RTP connections for both the standard ARB algorithm and
the ARB responsive mode algorithm. If this value is set, SNAplus2 will only advertise support for the
standard ARB algorithm.
cp_create_parms.ptf[7]
DLUR unbind on DACTLU. SNAplus2 does not normally end the PLU-SLU session when it receives a
DACTLU from the host for a session using DLUR. This parameter allows you to force ending of the PLU-
SLU session. Possible values:
AP_NONE
Use the normal processing.
AP_DLUR_UNBIND_ON_DACTLU
When DACTLU is received on a session using DLUR, end the PLU-SLU session.
