MULTIPLELOGON USE_CURRENT_PATH
specifies that a terminal LU residing on a Tandem system can use this ESS table
record to log on to a host program by means of an existing path established
through an earlier character-coded command. This operand is supported only
when the command type is LOGON-CHAR and SENDHOST is specified as Y.
MULTIPLELOGON USE_CURRENT-PATH insures that a terminal LU will not
be prevented from logging on to a host program because of a previous failure to
establish a passthrough LU-LU session. Such failures occur because the target
application is not currently running on the host system. Consequently. problems
can arise because:
Prior to the attempt to establish a session. SNAX/XF created a path between
the terminal LU and a gateway LU.
This path continues to exist despite the fact that there is no active LU-LU
session.
SNAX/XF considered that an LU-LU session is pending on this path.
Additional logon attempts by the terminal LU are therefore rejected (unless
MUTLTIPLELOGON USE_CURRENT_PATH is specified).
When MUTLTIPLELOGON USE_CURRENT_PATH is specified, the terminal LU
is able to use the existing path to establish a session, regardless of what is specified
in the GATELINE, GATEPU, and GATELU operands. Any data specified in the
REPDATA operand of the ESSCMD command is also processed.
PLUNAME { dlu-name | # plu-name }
specifies one of the following:
The subdevice name of the PLU process (TACL) that performs primary
logical-unit services when the terminal user enters a command
The SNA name of the host-system DLU process that performs primary logical-
unit services when the terminal user enters a command
The subdevice name of the Creator process that establishes communications
with Pathway so that a Pathway application can access the terminal
When PLUNAME specifies either the subdevice name of a PLU on a Tandem
system or the subdevice name of the Tandem Creator process, plu-name can
contain from one to seven alphanumeric and special characters immediately
preceded by a pound sign (#).
When PLUNAME specifies the DLU name of a process on the host, dlu-name can
contain from one to eight alphanumeric and special characters.
Also note that:
A pound sign (#) preceding plu-name is required when plu-name is
specified in conjunction with SENDHOST N.
