APPC Subsystem Conﬁguration

Conﬁguring the APPC Subsystem

APPC: Select Session Type Screen

In the “APPC: Select Session Type” screen, shown in Figure 4-6, you

enter the name of a new session type you want to conﬁgure or a

previously conﬁgured session type you want to modify. A session type is

a grouping of a remote LU, one or more local LUs, and a mode name.

Every transaction program speciﬁes a session type name to indicate the

remote LU with which it wants to communicate and the local LU and

mode it wants to use.

Enter the Session Type Name and the Type (IND for independent or

DEP for dependent) for the session type you wish to conﬁgure. Then,

when you press

[f5] (Add) or [f6] (Modify), you will go to the next screen

automatically. If the Type is IND, you will go to the “APPC: Independent

LU Session Type Data” screen, and if the Type is DEP, you will go to the

“APPC: Dependent LU Session Type Data” screen.

The “APPC: Select Session Type” screen lists all the conﬁgured session

types. Up to 60 session types may be conﬁgured for the APPC

subsystem. These session types are shared by all LU 6.2 products

running on the APPC subsystem. Press

[f1] (Next Page) to see the

session types listed on subsequent pages.
