Configuration Worksheets
Completing the Worksheets
5. In the Local Independent LU Name field under each SNA Node
Name field, write the name of the local independent LU that will
communicate with the remote independent LU. The Local
Independent LU Name you write must be configured on the node
you wrote in the SNA Node Name field.
You can use the same independent LU for all the session types that
use the same local SNA node (the same copy of SNA/SDLC Link/XL).
Ordinarily, you need to configure only one independent LU per local
SNA node; however, if you want to reserve sessions for a specific
application or group of users, you can configure an independent LU
for that purpose alone.
6. In the Mode Name field for each session type, write the mode name
configured for the remote LU. The mode name configured on the
HP 3000 must match the mode name configured for the remote LU.
For AS/400 configuration, the Mode Name must match the MODE in
the Device Description on the AS/400.
7. For each session type, determine the maximum number of active
sessions you will need and write that number in the Maximum
Number of Sessions field. You will need as many active sessions
as you will have conversations using the session type at once. The
number of sessions you will need for each session type is
[(instances of TP1 x (simultaneous conversations with TP1)]
+ [(instances of TP2 x (simultaneous conversations with TP2)]
.
.
.
+ [(instances of TP
n )x (simultaneous conversations with TP n )]
where TP1, TP2, . . . TP n are the transaction programs that will be
using the session type at the same time.
8. For each session type, determine the number of sessions that will be
activated when the APPC subsystem is started, and write the
number in the Automatically Activated Sessions field. The
Automatically Activated Sessions value must be less than or
equal to the Maximum Number of Sessions value.
When you have completed the Independent LU Session Types
worksheet, add up all the Automatically Activated Sessions for
all the session types. If the sum is greater than 256, adjust the
Automatically Activated Sessions values until the sum is less
than or equal to 256. The sum of all the Automatically Activated
Sessions, for all independent and dependent LU session types,
must be less than or equal to 256.
