Configuring LUNS Passthrough
Notes.
1. ESS entries for host applications require the following modifiers:
SENDHOST Y (to direct request to host)
CMDTYPE (to specify what kind of action is required)
GATELINE or GATEPU or GATELU (to instruct LUNS to use any LU on a specified line or
PU or a specific LU)
2. The first ESS entry (APL1) provides dynamic passthrough between any SNA device and
HOSTAPL1. The user enters APL1 at the SNA device. LUNS sends an INIT-SELF on LINE
$SNAS1 to the host PLU name HOSTAPL1.
3. The second ESS entry (LOGON) provides dynamic passthrough between any SNA device
and the application specified in a character-coded logon (provided the host application is
included in the APPLID for LINE $SNAS1). The user enters LOGON and the host
application name. #PLU2 represents the passthrough LU.
4. The third and fourth ESS entries allow the user at an SNA device to turn static
passthrough on and off by entering HOST and TANDEM (any character strings can be
defined).
5. The last ESS entry allows the user to enter the text LOGOFF in order to logoff.
6. An ESS table cannot be shared by multiple service managers.
7. If only one ESS table is defined, LUNS uses this by default. Otherwise, you must specify
which ESS table to use in the ESSTABLE attribute of an ADD or ALTER LINE, PU, or LU
command.
8. For more information about ESS tables, SET tables, and SNAXUTL, see the SNAX/XF
and SNAX/APN LU Network Services Manual .
