Configuring APPC Communication
Defining CPI-C Side Information
7.6 Defining CPI-C Side Information
If you are supporting a CPI-C application that uses CPI-C symbolic destination names, you need to define the
CPI-C side information. The side information associates the symbolic destination name with information about the
partner TP, partner LU, mode, and security for the conversation.
To determine the symbolic destination name for CPI-C, consult the application developer (or for a third-party
application, consult the product documentation).
To configure CPI-C side information, use one of the following methods:
Motif administration program
Select
APPC
and CPI-C
from the
Services
menu on the Node window.
Command-line administration program
Issue the following command:
define_cpic_side_info
7.6.1 CPI-C Configuration Parameters
For each CPI-C symbolic destination name used by the application, collect the following information:
Name
The symbolic destination name used by the CPI-C applications (also known as TPs) that you want to run.
This name can be 1–8 characters in length.
The application developer (or for a third-party application, the product documentation) can provide this name.
Local LU
The local LU for any conversations initiated by TPs using this side information using one of the following
methods:
Local LU alias
An alias for a local LU.
Use default LU
Specify this option to use a member of the default pool (if one exists) or the node control point LU (if
no default pool is defined).
If the
APPCLLU environment variable is set, the local LU information you supply is ignored, and the LU
specified for the environment variable is used instead.
Partner LU
Either an alias or the fully qualified partner LU name for conversations initiated by local TPs using this side
information. The partner LU must be an LU that is configured on the computer that runs the partner TP.
Mode
The name of the APPC mode that is to be used to access the partner LU. In most cases, the mode is one of
the following predefined modes:
• A blank name
• #BATCH
• #BATCHSC
• #INTER
