Administration Commands

define_local_lu

lu_attributes

Identifies additional information about the LU. Possible values are:

NONE

No additional information identified.

DISABLE_PASSWORD_SUBSTITUTION

Disable password substitution support for the local LU. Password substitution means that passwords are encrypted before transmission between the local and remote LUs, rather than being sent as clear text. SNAplus2 normally uses password substitution if the remote system supports it.

This value is provided as a work-around for communications with some remote systems that do not implement password substitution correctly. If you use this option, you should be aware that this involves sending and receiving passwords in clear text (which may represent a security risk). Do not set it unless there are problems with the remote system’s implementation of password substitution.

sscp_id

Specifies the ID of the SSCP permitted to activate this LU. This ID is a 6-byte binary string. This parameter is used only by dependent LUs, and is set to all binary zeros if the LU is an independent LU or if the LU can be activated by any SSCP.

disable

Specifies whether the local LU should be disabled or enabled. Possible values are:

YES

Disable the local LU.

NO

Enable the local LU.

sys_name

The name of the target computer for incoming Allocate requests (requests from a partner TP to start an APPC or CPI-C conversation) that arrive at this local LU.

If the target TP is a broadcast queued TP (servers are informed of its location when it starts, so that they can route incoming Allocate requests to it), or if it always runs on the same SNAplus2 server as the node that owns this LU, do not specify this parameter. Otherwise, set it to the name of the computer where the TP runs.

If the computer name includes a . (period) character, SNAplus2 assumes that it is a fully-qualified name; otherwise it performs a DNS lookup to determine the computer name.

timeout

The timeout value for dynamic load requests. A request will time out if the invoked TP has not issued a RECEIVE_ALLOCATE (APPC), Accept_Conversation, or Accept_Incoming (CPI-C) verb within this time. Specify the timeout value in seconds, or specify -1to indicate no timeout (dynamic load requests will wait indefinitely).

back_level

Specifies whether the target computer specified by the sys_name parameter is a back-level computer. This parameter is used only when you are in the process of migrating a client-server SNAplus2 system to a later version, so that not all servers and clients on the system are running the same version. It is reserved otherwise.

Possible values are:

YES
