HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Guide

Configuring APPC Communication
Defining Partner LUs
To define a remote node, issue the following command:
define_directory_entry
To define a partner LU, issue the following command:
define_partner_lu
7.2.1 Remote Node Configuration Parameters
The following parameter is required for remote node configuration:
Node’s SNA network name
The fully qualified CP name of the remote node. The value entered on this dialog must match the CP name
configured at that remote node.
7.2.2 Additional Configuration
After performing the remote node configuration, continue with the following configuration tasks:
• To define a partner LU, see Section 7.3, Defining Partner LUs.
• To define an invokable TP, see Section 7.4, Defining TPs.
• To define a mode, see Section 7.5, Defining Modes and Classes of Service.
• To define CPI-C side information, see Section 7.6, Defining CPI-C Side Information.
• To define APPC security, see Section 7.7, Configuring APPC Security.
• To configure 5250 communication, see Chapter 8, Configuring User Applications.
7.3 Defining Partner LUs
If both the local node and the remote node are network nodes, or if one is a network node and the other is an end
node, and your application uses an LU name to refer to the partner LU, there is no need to define the partner LU,
because it can be dynamically located using APPN. However, if your application uses an LU alias to refer to its
partner LU, you should add a partner LU alias definition.
If either the local node or the remote node is a LEN node, you must define the partner LU as a child of the remote
node, because a LEN node cannot take part in dynamic location of LUs. If your application uses the control point
LU of the remote node as its partner LU, the control point LU was defined automatically when you defined the
remote node.
You can use wildcards to configure multiple partner LUs that are all located on the same remote node and whose
names start with the same characters. Using wildcards means that you do not need to configure each partner LU
individually.
To configure a partner LU, use one of the following methods:
Motif administration program
You can use the Motif administration program to add a partner LU alias, add a definition of a partner LU on
a specific remote node, or define multiple partner LUs using wildcards. Select
APPC, New partner LUs, and
one of the following from the
Services menu on the Node window.
•
Partner LU alias
• Partner LU on remote node
