Configuring APPC Communication

Defining TPs

For an invokable TP, you can also specify a timeout value, to limit the wait for an allocation request. (You can only configure this option using command-line administration.)

SNAplus2 uses the invokable TP definition for the following purposes:

•When a TP issues Receive_Allocate, SNAplus2 searches for an invokable TP definition with the appropriate TP name. If the definition exists, and includes a value for the Receive_Allocate timeout, SNAplus2 uses this value when processing the Receive_Allocate; otherwise it uses the default (no timeout, which causes the TP to wait indefinitely).

•When an incoming Allocate request arrives at the target system, and the requested TP is not already running with a Receive_Allocate outstanding, SNAplus2 searches for a TP definition with the TP name specified on the incoming Allocate. If the definition exists, SNAplus2 uses the information in this definition to start the TP (if multiple instances are permitted or the TP is not already running), or to determine that it should queue the incoming Allocate (if the TP is already running and multiple instances are not permitted ).

If necessary, you can configure both types of definitions for the same TP (for example, to define conversation security for an invokable TP).

To configure a TP definition, use one of the following methods:

To define APPC characteristics:

Use either of the following methods: Motif administration program
