Configuring APPC Communication

Defining Partner LUs

A locally displayable alias for the partner LU. You do not have to specify an LU alias if there is no local application that refers to the partner LU using an LU alias.

This field applies when you define partner LU on a specific remote node or when you define a partner LU alias.

Uninterpreted Name

The uninterpreted name used by dependent local LUs when requesting the host to start an LU-LU session between the partner LU and the local LU. This name enables the partner LU name configured locally (and used by applications) to differ from the partner LU name configured on the host.

The default uninterpreted name is the second part of the partner LU name. This is correct in most cases. If in doubt, consult your SNA network planner.

This field applies when you define partner LU on a specific remote node or when you define a partner LU alias.

Supports parallel sessions

Whether the partner LU can support more than one session at a time. In most cases, the partner LU supports many sessions at one time, but some LEN nodes do not support parallel sessions.

This field applies when you define partner LU on a specific remote node or when you define a partner LU alias.

Location

The fully qualified CP name of the node on which the partner LU resides, or of a node that can provide access to the partner LU. If you supply the name of a remote node that has not yet been defined, you need to define it if you cannot discover the node dynamically.

This field applies only if you define a partner LU on a specific remote node.
