RECVLOCATE

At least 2 bytes less than the value of RECSIZE specified for the SDLC, X.25, and
Token-Ring line objects.

For Ethernet PUs, the value must be 4 bytes less than the line’s RECSIZE.

For PUs subordinate to a secondary line (or both PUs of a passthrough pair),
RECSIZE should have the same value as the MAXDATA parameter specified for
the NCP system generation.

For Token-Ring PUs, RECSIZE must be less than (TLAM READBUFFERSIZE plus
103 bytes).
RECVLOCATE
RECVLOCATE specifies the end node search capability. NO specifies that the
NN server may not search the local system (SNAX/APN) for resources (LUs)
unless there is an entry for those resources in the NN directory database. YES
allows the NN server to search for resources not registered with the NN server.
You may want to use this feature, in conjunction with the LU attribute
REGISTER for two reasons — performance and security. APPN networks often
broadcast Locates and this traffic could adversely affect the performance of your
node. Use RECVLOCATE NO to prevent the NN server from forwarding those
Locates. If you also do not REGISTER certain resources then those resources
are “invisible” to network searches, and thus may be more secure.
REGISTER
Indicates if this LU is to be registered (automatically) with the NNS, the central
directory server, or neither. The default is NO, do not register this resource with the
NNS. This means that you will have to separately define this resource when
configuring the NNS, if the LU is to participate in the APPN network.
If you want the LU registered with your selected NNS, use YES.
If you want the LU registered with the central directory service, use CDS. Central
registration cuts down on the network traffic of broadcast Locates.
