APPC Subsystem on MPE/XL Node Manager's Guide (30294-90007)

APPC Subsystem Configuration
Configuring the APPC Subsystem
Fields SNA Node Name
Required. The name of the SNA node on which the LU
for this session type resides. The SNA node name must
also be configured in the SNANODE branch of NMMGR.
See the SNA Link/XL Node Manager’s Guide for
information on SNA node configuration. The SNA node
name can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters; the first
character must be alphabetic.
Every SNA node is a link to a remote system, so by
configuring multiple session types with different SNA
node names, you can connect the APPC subsystem to
multiple remote systems.
Mode Name
Required. The name of a configured mode type. If the
HP 3000 will communicate with an AS/400, the mode
name must match the MODE in the Device Description
for the partner LU on the AS/400. A mode name can be
up to 8 alphanumeric characters; the first character
must be alphabetic. The Mode Name must also be
configured in the “APPC: Select Mode Type” screen.
Data for each mode type is configured in the “APPC:
Mode Type Data” screen, described later in this
chapter. The default mode name is MODE0.
NOTE If you use the default mode name, MODE0, you still must configure a
mode named MODE0 on the AS/400.
Local LU Name
Required. The name of the local independent LU that
will use the session type. If the HP 3000 will
communicate with an AS/400, the Local LU Name
must match the RMTLOCNAME in the Device Description
for the partner LU on the AS/400.
The local LU must be configured on the SNA node you
specified in the SNA Node Name field. SNA nodes and
LUs are configured in the SNANODE branch of NMMGR.
See the SNA Link/XL Node Manager’s Guide for more
information. A local LU name can be up to 8
alphanumeric characters; the first character must be
alphabetic.
Only one local independent LU is needed for each
independent LU session type, because an independent
LU can conduct multiple, simultaneous sessions with
the remote LU.
