PROCESS { process-name | ( TACL , TACL-name ) }
PROCESS process-name
specifies the name of a user-written PROCESS server that gains control after a
connection or disconnection. This PROCESS server should be started by the
user before the call-out operation is started. Thereafter, messages about
commands rejected and the status of connections are sent to process-name
For example, when SNAX/CM detects a broken connection, it notifies the
PROCESS server.
PROCESS ( TACL , TACL-name )
specifies the name of a TACL process to be started by SNAX/CM for primary
lines and PUs only after a call-out operation is completed. (Note that
SNAX/CM cannot start a TACL process on a secondary LU.) SNAX/CM
starts a TACL process on the first alias LU only and assumes there is a TACL
file on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM. If there is no TACL file on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM,
SNAX/CM logs a message and does not start a TACL process.
If PROCESS is not specified, SNAX/CM does nothing after a call-out operation is
successfully completed. For permanently subordinated PUs, users can post a
CONTROL 11 request in the application programs and wait for the CONTROL 11
operation to be completed. For either switched floating or permanently
subordinated PUs, the LUNS interface can be used to start a session.
PU pu-name
is the name of the PU to which the command is directed. If pu-name is specified,
it is used to locate a permanently subordinated PU or is used to assign a switched
floating PU to the line.
For lines with a single PU (that is, MAXPUS = 1), pu-name is not required.
For lines configured with MAXPUS greater than 1, some type of PU selection
is required.
If pu-name is not specified using the CONNECT command, then callstring or
xidstring must be used to select a switched floating PU.
CALL { " callstring " | %Htrrmtaddr }
is an ASCII character string that is the number to be called.
For an X.25 connection, the maximum number of characters in a call string is
limited to 15. You must use quotation marks.
For Token-Ring addressing, the call string must be specified as a hexadecimal
string (such as CALL %Htrrmtaddr), where the first two characters are the
remote SAP value and the remaining 12 characters are the remote MAC
address. The total length of the string must be 14 hexadecimal digits.
