You can use the advanced dialog to specify sync point support, attach routing characteristics, restrictions on SSCP access, and security.

Local LU Configuration Parameters

The following parameters are required for local LU configuration:

LU name

The LU name of the local LU.

If you do not know what name to use, consult your SNA network planner.

This LU name is the second part of the fully qualified LU name of the local LU. The first part of the fully qualified LU name (the network name) is always the same as the first part of the CP name of the local node.

LU alias

The LU alias of the LU. If you do not enter an alias, the LU name is used as the alias.

Host LS/DLUR PU

The name of the host link station or DLUR PU to which the LU belongs. (This field applies only if the LU is a dependent LU.)

LU number

The LU number of the dependent LU. (This field applies only if the LU is a dependent LU.)

Member of default pool

Whether to make the LU a member of the default dependent APPC LU pool. An application that does not specify a particular local LU to use is assigned an available LU from the default pool.

This field applies only if the LU is a dependent LU.

Additional Configuration
