Configuring APPC Communication
Defining Partner LUs
• Wildcard partner LU on remote node
Command-line administration program
To define a partner LU, issue the following command:
define_partner_lu
To define a LEN node as a partner LU, issue the following commands:
define_adjacent_len_node
define_directory_entry
7.3.1 Partner LU Configuration Parameters
The following parameters are required for partner LU configuration:
Partner LU name
The fully qualified LU name of the partner LU. This name must match the name that is configured at the
remote node for this LU. If you do not know what that name is, consult your SNA network planner.
This field applies when you define partner LU on a specific remote node or when you define a partner LU
alias.
Wildcard partner LU name
A name that matches the fully qualified LU names of multiple partner LUs. (This field applies only if you
define partner LUs using wildcards.) The wildcard partner LU name consists of two strings, each of 1–8
characters:
• The first string can be a complete SNA network name that matches the first part of the fully qualified
partner LU names exactly, or a wildcard prefix that matches the beginning of the network name for the
partner LUs. If you supply a wildcard prefix as the value for the first string, leave the second string blank.
For example, a wildcard entry of
A would match all LUs in the SNA networks named A, ANT, or APPN
(but not BUFFALO or ZEBRA).
• If you supply a complete SNA network name for the first string, you can also enter a value for the second
string. (You cannot specify the second string without supplying a valid SNA network name for the first
string.) The second string is treated as a wildcard prefix, which must match the start of the second part
of the fully qualified partner LU names. For example, a wildcard entry of A.F would match partner LUs
names A.FRED or A.FREDDY (but not APPN.FRED or A.B).
If you leave both strings blank, the wildcard partner LU definition matches any partner LU name.
Alias
A locally displayable alias for the partner LU. You do not have to specify an LU alias if there is no local
application that refers to the partner LU using an LU alias.
This field applies when you define partner LU on a specific remote node or when you define a partner LU
alias.
Uninterpreted Name
The uninterpreted name used by dependent local LUs when requesting the host to start an LU-LU session
between the partner LU and the local LU. This name enables the partner LU name configured locally (and
used by applications) to differ from the partner LU name configured on the host.
The default uninterpreted name is the second part of the partner LU name. This is correct in most cases. If
in doubt, consult your SNA network planner.
This field applies when you define partner LU on a specific remote node or when you define a partner LU
alias.
