HLS-OPEN Verb

SNAX/HLS Verbs

5–36 104707 Tandem Computers Incorporated

SESSION–ID

requires the session ID that the SNAX/HLS server returned in response to the

HLS–ALLOCATE verb.

COMPLETION–MODE

specifies the way the SNAX/HLS server responds to your request. One of the

supported alternatives must be supplied. These alternatives are:

Immediate response.

Wait response.

Queued response.

For a complete discussion on completion modes, refer to Section 4, “The Standard

Verb Interface.”

REQUEST–FORMAT

is reserved for future expansion of the verb. This field must contain a blank.

APPLICATION–NAME

is a string of ASCII characters left–justified with trailing blanks. It may be entirely

blank.

For a PLU (that is, one that issues a BIND), a nonblank entry allows the user to

override the PLU name built into the BIND image derived either from the RDT

(for primary–acquire sessions) or the CINIT message (for primary–accept

sessions). This allows an application to control the value of the PLU name that

appears in the BIND image.

For a secondary–acquire LU, a nonblank in this field allows the user to override

the SLU name from the RDT that appears in the INIT–SELF message. It usually

identifies the primary application whose services are being requested.

For secondary–accept LUs, this field is unused.

Names longer than eight characters should be used only in situations where:

You are opening a secondary–acquire session. (This means that an INIT–SELF

is sent on your behalf.)

The primary side of your line is located on a (possibly different) Tandem node.

No application is currently connected to that primary line.
