Chapter 4 89
APPC Subsystem Configuration
Configuring the APPC Subsystem
“APPC: Mode Type Data” screen, described later in this
chapter. The default mode name is MODE0.
If you use the default mode name, MODE0, dependent
LU sessions of this type will use the default mode name
configured for the partner LU on the IBM mainframe.
The mode name configured on the IBM mainframe does
not have to be MODE0. (For independent LU sessions,the
mode name configured on the remote system must
match the mode name configured on the HP 3000, even
if MODE0 is used.)
Remote LU Name
Required. The name of the remote LU with which the
dependent LUs of this session type will communicate.
The Remote LU Name must match the APPLID in the
Label field of the VTAM APPL definition statement. A
remote LU name can be up to 8 alphanumeric
characters; the first character must be alphabetic.
Only one remote LU name is configured for each
session type. The local LUs for the session type are
configured in the “APPC: Dependent LU List Data”
screen.
Maximum Number of Sessions
Required. The maximum number of APPC sessions
that may be simultaneously active between the
dependent LUs of this session type and the specified
remote LU. This value is not negotiated with the
remote LU.
The following restrictions apply to the Maximum Number
of Sessions value:
1. The maximum number of simultaneously active
sessions for a dependent LU session type is 32. You
must have a dependent LU configured for every
active session; therefore, the Maximum Number of
Sessions value may not exceed the number of
dependent LUs listed in the “APPC: Dependent LU
List Data” screen.
2. The maximum number of simultaneously active
sessions for the whole APPC subsystem is 256.
3. Maximum Number of Sessions must be greater
than or equal to the Automatically Activated
Sessions value.
Default: 8
