HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Guide
Configuring APPC Communication
Defining TPs
Group ID
The group ID that SNAplus2 uses to start the TP. This must be a valid HP-UX group ID on the SNAplus2
computer.
This parameter is optional. If it is not included, the default is
sna.
Standard input
Specify the full path name of the standard input file or device used by the TP.
This parameter is optional. If it is not included, the default is /dev/null.
Standard output
Specify the full path name of the standard output file or device used by the TP.
This parameter is optional. If it is not included, the default is /dev/null.
Standard error
Specify the full path name of the standard error file or device used by the TP.
This parameter is optional. If it is not included, the default is /dev/null.
Environment
Specify any environment variables required by the TP.
Each variable is specified in the form
environment_variable=value, and can be up to 255 characters long. The
string environment_variable=value must not contain space or tab characters before or after the = character.
In the Motif administration program, if you need to specify more than one environment variable (up to a
maximum of 64), separate them using the | character. The variables are set in the same order as they appear
here.
If the TP is a CPI-C application, note that you cannot set the environment variable APPCLLU using this field.
The local LU cannot be specified for an automatically-loaded CPI-C application.
This field is optional. If it is not included, no environment variables are used.
7.4.2 TP Definition Parameters
You can configure an APPC TP to specify conversation security, conversation type, sync level, and handling of PIP
data. The following parameters are required to define a TP for APPC communication:
TP name
A TP name in one of the following forms:
Application TP
If the TP is a user application, supply the name as normal characters (up to 64 characters in length).
Service TP
If the TP is an SNA service transaction program, supply the name in hexadecimal (up to eight
hexadecimal digits, representing 4 bytes).
Conversation level security required
Select this option if an allocation request must include a valid user name and password (or an indicator that
the password has already been verified). If you do not select this option, no verification is required.
Restrict access
Select this option if the user name must be included on a security access list. This field applies only if the
Conversation level security required option is selected.
