3.4.2 Supplied Parameters
The application supplies the following parameters:
opcode
AP_APING
lu_name
LU name of the local LU. This is an 8-byte type-A EBCDIC string, padded on the right with spaces if the
name is shorter than 8 characters. To indicate that the LU is identified by its LU alias instead of its LU name,
set this parameter to 8 binary zeros and specify the LU alias in the following parameter.
lu_alias
LU alias of the local LU. This parameter is used only if the
lu_name field is set to 8 binary zeros, and is
ignored otherwise. The alias is an 8-byte ASCII string, padded on the right with spaces if the name is shorter
than 8 bytes. To use the default LU (the LU associated with the CP), set both the lu_name and lu_alias
parameters to 8 binary zeros.
plu_alias
Partner LU alias. This should be the alias of an LU on a remote node; you are not recommended to use AP-
ING with a partner LU on the local node.
The alias is an 8-byte ASCII string, padded on the right with spaces if the name is shorter than 8 bytes. To
indicate that the LU is identified by its fully qualified name instead of its alias, set this parameter to 8 binary
zeros and specify the LU name in the fqplu_name parameter.
mode_name
Name of the mode used by the LU pair. This is an 8-byte type-A EBCDIC string (starting with a letter),
padded on the right with spaces if the name is shorter than 8 characters.
tp_name
Name of the invoked TP (generally set to APINGD). This is a 64-byte string, padded on the right with spaces.
security
Specifies whether conversation security information is required to start the TP. Possible values are:
AP_NONE
No security information is required.
AP_SAME
Security information may be verified by the TP that invoked this TP on behalf of a third TP.
AP_PGM
A user ID and password are required to start the TP.
AP_PGM_STRONG
