The LU Object The LU object type, ZCOM–OBJ–LU, is used when the object of a control or inquiry
operation is a SNAX/APC local LU to the SNAX/APC process. An LU is the entry
point through which a transaction program accesses the SNA network.
The LU object name is the name of the local LU, and it has the following format:
$apc-process.local-lu
$apc-process
is the name of the SNAX/APC process.
local-lu
is the name of the local LU object. The name may consist of one to eight
characters, and the first character must be a letter. The name must be unique
throughout a SNAX/APC process.
Examples
The following are valid object names for the LU object:
$APC1.LU01
$APC1.TDMLU001
NULL Object Type and
Names
The NULL object type, ZCOM–OBJ–NULL, is used only in the GETVERSION and
LISTOBJECTS commands, where it has a special meaning. The NULL object type has
no other use in SNAX/APC.
The NULL object has no object name; the object name must be of zero length or
omitted.
