Initiator Application Entity
The steps shown in Figure 3-8 on page 3-60 are as follows:
1. First, use an ALTER SUBSYS command to change any APLMGR subsystem
attributes for which you will not be using the installation defaults. This example
defines the maximum numbers of FTAM initiator and responder processes, the OSI
manager name, and the filename of the primary APLMGR MIB file.
2. Then add the initiator process, $AMGR.#FTAMI.FTI1, to the APLMGR MIB. Its
Guardian name is $FTI1, and its default common name is FTMI1A. This example
also specifies the maximum number of associations this initiator is to handle, the
primary and backup CPU numbers, and the swap disk volume.
3. The remaining steps enter information in the OSI managers MIB. First, add the
APPL ENTRY object, $OSM1.#APPL.FTMI1A. The file-name portion of the
application name, FTMI1A, must match the COMNAME given in step 2, in order
for applications to omit the local address or common name in initialize requests and
use the configured default. (If applications specify local addresses or common
names, you must configure each of these addresses or names in the OSI managers
MIB.) Identify the PSEL, SSEL, TSEL, and NSAP addresses to go with the
application name. TSELs and NSAPs must represent the actual addresses that will
be added later as the names for the ENTRY objects in the underlying layers.
4. To configure ACSE, the Presentation Layer, and the Session Layer, add the TAPS
process $OSM1.#TAPS.L51. Associate this process with a unique process name,
$L51, by which it will be known to the operating system. This example also
specifies the primary and backup CPUs for the TAPS process.
5. Next, add the TSEL ENTRY object, $OSM1.#TSEL.07, specifying the same TSEL
value as that in the APPL ENTRY configuration. The server, $OSM1.#TAPS.L51,
was added in step 4 and points to the TAPS process to be used by this TSEL. The
Layer 5 PROFILE object can optionally be used to select the specific session
services required.
6. Add the Layer 5 PROFILE object, $OSM1.#L5.L5PROF, if you selected it in step 5.
For FTAM, session version 1 must be set to OFF and session version 2 set to ON.
(Since these session version settings are required for FTAM, you may want to
specify them in the Layer 5 SERVICE object rather than in your profiles.) This
example also sets the session disconnect timeout to 10 seconds.
