ASSOCIATEPU - for SNAX/XF Only
ASSOCIATEPU - for SNAX/XF Only
ASSOCIATEPU specifies the name of a PU that is to be associated with the CNM
application program represented by an APPL object. The associate PU name is in
external format and has the following syntax:
[$line-name.]pu-name
where line-name is the line name and pu-name is the SNAX/XF PU name.
You can specify associate PU names in uppercase or lowercase. SNAX converts all
lowercase letters to uppercase.
This attribute can be removed through the ALTER APPL command by specifying a null
string (" ") as the value.
ASSOCIATESUBDEV
ASSOCIATESUBDEV specifies the entity that will perform link level services for the
line or PU.

For X.25, it is the X25AM SU object associated with a line or PU. This attribute is
valid only for PUs permanently subordinate to X.25 lines. ASSOCIATESUBDEV
should not be specified for X.25 switched floating PUs.

For Ethernet, ASSOCIATESUBDEV is not really a subdevice but the name of a
LAN LIF process and a unique session identifier assigned by SNAX. You must
specify a value for #subdev, but SNAX will overlay your specification with its own
value.

For Token-Ring, it is not really a subdevice but the name of a TLAM/PAM process
and a unique session identifier that you specify.
The format of the ASSOCIATESUBDEV name is as follows:
[\node.]$dev-name.#subdevice-name
where node is the system node name, dev-name is the logical device name of the I/O
process, and subdevice-name is either the X25AM subdevice name or a unique
session identifier.
For X.25 lines and their subordinate PUs, ASSOCIATESUBDEV specifies the name of
the X25AM process and subdevice that communicate either with the permanently
Default: Null string (" ")
Value: NonStop system file name of the form [$line-name.]pu-name
Objects: APPL
Default: None
Value: Device name of the form \node.$devname.#subdev
Objects: LINE, PU (X.25, Ethernet, and Token-Ring only)
