Node Entries Table

Node Entries Table

The Node Entries table contains information about the remote ZCOM systems that communicate with the local ZCOM subsystem. Each Local-Nodeand Remote-Nodedefinition in the TTGEN configuration file occupy one entry in the table. Each entry structure is 392 bytes long and has the format shown in Table 3-4.

Table 3-4	Node Entries Table
Field Name	Field Description	Field Type	Size
			(Bytes)
node_num	ZCOM system node number	uns.short	2
timeout	Default timeout value for this node	uns.short	2
flags	Node status and internal flags	uns.int	4
stats	Statistics for this node	struct	16
ndshzrvrs	List of node status event receivers	pointer	8
nhost	Number of hosts in the host array	uns.short	2
spare1	Reserved, not used	uns.short	2
spare2	Reserved, not used	int	4
host	Host link information	struct [4]	4*88
	NODE_NUM - Node number

This field contains a unique node number that identifies the entry.

TIMEOUT - Default timeout value for this node

This field contains timeout in seconds for requests sent to this remote node. Most remote ZCOM requests (e.g. ZOPEN, ZTIMR, etc) require a definite response from the remote ZCOM subsystem. If the response is not received within the timeout period specified by this field, error ZENTOUT (-23) is returned to the application program. This field is initialized by TTGEN with the timeout value specified in a Remote-Nodedefinition. This field is zero for a local node entry.
