ADD APPL for a TACL Process
If the Creator process is to create a TACL process, an ADD APPL command must
define that TACL process. In the ADD APPL command, the TACL process is a given a
subdevice name (for example, #TACL). This subdevice name must match the
subdevice name specified in the ESS table logon record for TACL. (In an ESS table
logon record for TACL, the subdevice name is specified through the PLUNAME
operand; for more information, see “Logon Records for Tandem TACL Processes,”
earlier in this section).
The following attributes, all of which are required, apply when an APPL object
represents a TACL process:
APPLTYPE { LUNSAPPL | 5 }
specifies the type of application program being defined. For an APPL object
representing a TACL process, the valid values for APPLTYPE are LUNSAPPL or
the integer value 5.
APPLFILE file-name
specifies the fully-qualified program file name of the TACL process being defined.
For a Creator process to start up a TACL process, the Creator process must know
the name of the file in which the application process object code resides.
file-name can be in uppercase or lowercase characters. SNAX/XF converts
them all to uppercase. Also note that SNAX/XF passes the same text string on to
the Creator process and does not expand the file name.
CREATOR # subdevice-name
specifies the subdevice name of the Tandem Creator process that is to create the
TACL process. Note that this attribute can be changed or removed with the
ALTER APPL command.
subdevice-name can consist of one through eight alphanumeric characters, the
first of which must be a pound sign (#).
There is no default value for this attribute.
Below is an ADD APPL command defining a TACL process.
ADD APPL $SSCP.#TACL, APPLTYPE LUNSAPPL, &
APPLFILE $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TACL &
CREATOR #CREATE
where $SSCP is the required name of the SNAX/XF service manager process.
