The CONVERSATION
Object
The CONVERSATION object type, ZCOM–OBJ-CONVERSATION, represents an LU
6.2 conversation. The conversation can be created by a transaction program (TP)
issuing an ALLOCATE or MC-ALLOCATE conversation verb, and can be deleted by a
TP issuing a DEALLOCATE OR MC-DEALLOCATE conversation verb. In certain
situations, such as the occurrence of a protocol error or session outage, a
CONVERSATION object may be deleted automatically by SNAX/APC.
The object name of the CONVERSATION object is conv-id, and it has the following
format:
$apc-process.local-lu.tpn.tpi-id.conv-id
$apc-process
is the name of the SNAX/APC process.
local-lu
is the name of the local LU.
tpn
is the name of the local transaction program.
tpi-id
is the name of the instance of the local transaction program.
conv-id
is the name of the CONVERSATION object. It is assigned by the SNAX/APC
process and is the name that uniquely identifies a conversation. It is an unsigned
integer, and is represented in commands and responses as a 4-digit hexadecimal
string. It is not necessary to have the %H prefix for conv-id because it will
always be a hexadecimal integer.
Examples
The following are valid object names for the CONVERSATION object:
$APC1.LU01.ACCT.0012.003A
$APC1.TDMLU001.%6441%.0045.004B
