APPC Subsystem Configuration
Configuring the APPC Subsystem
Fields
Session Type Name
Required. The name of a new session type you want to
add or a previously configured session type you want to
modify. You can configure 60 session types for the APPC
subsystem. A session type name can be up to 8
alphanumeric characters; the first character must be
alphabetic. The session type name does not have to
match anything in the local or remote configuration.
Type
This field is required if you are adding a new session
type. It is not required if you are updating the
configuration for an existing session type.Enter IND for
an independent LU session type or DEP for a dependent
LU session type. An independent LU is used for
peer-to-peer communication with a Type 2.1 node, like
an AS/400, and dependent LUs are used for
communication with a host node (Type 5).
For information on independent LUs, see the
description of the “APPC: Independent LU Session
Type Data” screen, later in this chapter. For
information on dependent LUs, see the description of
the “APPC: Dependent LU Session Type Data” screen,
later in this chapter.
If you want to change a configured session type from
independent to dependent (or from dependent to
independent) you must delete the session type and
reenter it.
New Name
The new name of a session type you want to rename. To
rename a configured session type, enter its current
name in the Session Type Name field, enter its new
name in the New Name field, and press
[f4] (Rename).
APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data Screen
The “APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data” screen, shown in
Figure 4-7, is used to configure session types for independent LUs.
Enter the data into the “APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data”
screen, press
[f6] (Save Data), and then press [f8] (Prior Screen) to get
back to the “APPC: Select Session Type” screen. From there, you can
configure another session type, or you can press
[f8] (Prior Screen) to
get back to the “APPC Configuration” screen.
