Planning for LUNS
Using LUNS
2–2 097841 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Planning for LUNS Preparation for LUNS usage involves the creation of both a SNAXUTL command file
and an SCF configuration file. Before creating these files, you should determine:
Subdevice names for such Tandem processes as the TACL process and the Creator
process.
The password that the Creator process must pass to LUNS when it establishes a
connection.
The table names of all ESS tables and the file names of their table source files.
Any ESS table you wish to flag as a default table. Note that having a default ESS
table is optional.
All character-coded commands and DLU entries for logging on to the various
applications. These will constitute the command names of the logon or INIT-SELF
records within an ESS table.
The number, type, and content of the fields within these records depend on:
The location of the application receiving the logon (Tandem system or host)
The type of terminal logging on (3270-series or intelligent)
The type of session to be established (LU-LU or host SSCP-LU)
Any Pathway or NEWPROCESS parameters that must be passed to the Creator
process.
Any user messages you wish to add to the ESS table.
Any system messages you wish to change in the ESS table.
The extent sizes for all SET and ESS tables you are creating (if you are not using
the default size).
All SCF attributes for the terminal and gateway LUs.
Once you have determined all of the above, you are ready to use SNAXUTL and SCF
to create the configuration you require.
