With the configuration shown in Figure 2 defined in the host, the ACTPU sent by VTAM for the PU TN3270PU will have the “Unsolicited NMVT Support” set in the system services control point (SSCP) capabilities control vector. This allows the PU to dynamically allocate LUs by sending NMVT with a “Reply Product Set ID” control vector.
After the TN3270 server sends a positive response to the ACTPU, it will wait for VTAM to send ACTLUs for all specifically defined LUs. In the sample configuration shown in Figure 2, ACTLUs will be sent for TN3X1100 and TN3X1101. The server sends a positive response and sets SLU DISABLED. The LOCADDR of these LUs are put into the specific LU cache and reserved for specific LU name requests only.
To allow sufficient time for the VTAM host to send all the ACTLUs, a
