CONNECT Command

The CONNECT command connects a TR3271 pass-through subdevice to an AM3270

pass-through subdevice. A pass-through subdevice can be added anytime, but is not

available for message transfer until a CONNECT command is executed. This is a

sensitive command.

Considerations for the CONNECT Command

•

An SU object must be in the STARTED summary state before it can be connected.

•

Both the AM3270 subdevice and the TR3271 subdevice must be pass-through

subdevices. You can use the following commands to verify that the subdevice is

configured with the PTP protocol, alter the subdevice, and connect the subdevices.

If you cannot connect a subdevice, verify that the protocol is PTP:

INFO SU $TR3271.#TERM, DETAIL

Alter the subdevice if it is not PTP, using the ALTER command:

ALTER SU $TR3271.#TERM, PROTOCOL PTP

Start the subdevice:

START SU $TR3271.#TERM

Then, use the CONNECT command:

CONNECT SU $TR3271.#TERM, \SYS06.$AM3270.#TERM

•

Both the TR3271 subdevice and the AM3270 subdevice must have the same

ADDRESS values or the CONNECT command will fail.

•

Wild cards are not supported at the subdevice level.

Command Syntax for the CONNECT Command

The CONNECT command has the following syntax:

OUT file-spec

causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified

file.

SU su-name, su-name

designates the subdevices affected by the CONNECT command. If you omit the

su-name, SCF connects the assumed TR3271 subdevice.

CONNECT [ / OUT file-spec / ] [ SU su-name, su-name ]
