Configuration in UNIX
The driver can be configured and commanded to issue and handle some LU 6.2 control modes and verbs.
Name pane
This table shows the parameters for the Name page:
Symbolic Name | Specify the CPIC Symbolic Name. This is defined when configuring IBM Communication Server SNA (AIX). |
Select the appropriate connection type:
|
Call Properties pane
This table shows the parameters for the Call Properties page:
RTPN | For a Call connection, specify the RTPN (Remote Transaction Program Name). RTPN is an application that uses this connection to send data to another application. |
Delay | Select this to delay connection allocation until there is a message to
write. When you use this option, the driver allocates a conversation
only when required for an outbound message. When this option is not selected, the driver attempts to allocate a conversation with the LISTENer as soon as possible. That is, during thread startup, after message writes if is set, and so on. |
Security pane
This table shows the parameters for the Security page:
Select this to configure the driver to use the LU 6.2 security options. If this option is used, then the driver requests SECUR_PGM and includes the configured User ID and Password values. Otherwise, it uses SECUR_NONE. This option is available only if is selected. | |
User ID | Specify the user ID. This option is available only if | is selected.
Password | Specify the log-in password. This option is available only if | is selected.
Listen Properties pane
For a Listen connection, specify the TPN (Transaction Program Name). TPN is an application that uses this connection to receive data from another application.
Sync Level pane
This table shows the parameters for the Sync Level page:
Conversation sync level | prepares the conversation for possible CONFIRM/CONFIRMED verb use. If this option is used, then select Auto-confirm to automatically send a CONFIRM request with every message. |
means
SNA provides no synchronization services.
Select this to request a Confirm for every message that is written to the connection. This option is available only if | is selected.
Miscellaneous Properties pane
This table shows the parameters for the Miscellaneous Properties page:
Select this to enable the driver to use the DRIVERCTL metadata. Modify the driver’s behavior by embedding certain control information in the metadata field. The driver also reports the state of the connection in the inbound message’s DRIVERCTL field values. Setting this option permits greater flexibility and control, but at the expense of memory and speed. | |
Select this to configure the driver to deallocate the connection, or conversation, after every message send. | |
Select this to convert the RTPN/TPN to EBCDIC format. If this option is not selected, then ASCII is used. | |
Select this to automatically flush the buffer after each operation. | |
Select this to automatically reestablish a broken connection. | |
Select this to place the conversation in a RECEIVE state after each message is sent. This requires a response for each request. The remote application must explicitly pass SEND control back to the driver. This option is unavailable if the connection is send-only. | |
Reopen Time | Specify the minimum number of seconds to wait after connection failure before reconnection. The default is 5. This option is available only if | is selected.
Start-up Procedures pane
Click TPS Editor. Use this to select the Tcl procedures to run when the thread starts. This is a TPS (Tcl Procedure Stream). Use it to trade messages with the remote end.
