ZL5-PROF
is the name of the Layer 5 PROFILE to be used. It has precedence over the L3
profile configured with the #TSEL entry.
ZL3-SERVR
is the indirect-process-name of the NSP process.
ZL4-SERVR
is the indirect-process-name of the TSP process.
ZL5-SERVR
is the indirect-process-name of the TAPS process.
ZDEL-TIME
indicates whether or not an SU created from this application entry will be
deleted or saved after the connection is completed. A value of 0 indicates that
the SU will be deleted when the connection is finished, and is called a
dynamic SU. A value of -1D indicates that the SU will be saved when the
connection is finished, and is called a static SU. Static SUs can be reused by
another connection if that connection desires the same addresses and
configuration used by the first connection. Static SUs remain in the OSI/AS
subsystem until an APS_SUBDEVICE_DISCARD_ , a SPI ABORT SU or a SPI
STOP SU is issued for that SU. The default value is 0.
ZLOOPBACK
determines whether or not a connection made with this application entry
should be run loopback at the session layer. The possible value are:
ZLOOPBACK is ZSPI-VAL-TRUE
ZLOOPBACK is ZSPI-VAL-FALSE
The default value for ZLOOPBACK is ZSPI-VAL-FALSE. If ZLOOPBACK is
ZSPI-VAL-TRUE for the called (remote) application entry, the connection can
ONLY operate in loopback mode. The loopback value of a calling application
entry is ignored. To achieve loopback, that connection endpoints must be
local to this subsystem, although, a subsystem may span several Expand
nodes. If loopback is specified, but it is not possible, the connection will be
rejected. This field only applies when an APS_ASSOC_CONNECTREQ_ is
called.
To alter any of the addresses in this structure, you must assign values to both the
address field and the corresponding length field. For instance, to alter the NSAP
address, you must assign values to both ZNSAP and ZNSAP-LEN. OSI/AS reads
from the address field the number of bytes specified in the length field. If no value
is assigned to the length field, OSI/AS ignores the address field.
