Configuring APPC Communication
Defining TPs
The configuration methods for servers and clients are different:
•On a server, use either of the following methods: Motif administration program
Select APPC and Transaction Programs from the
Services menu on the Node window. When SNAplus2 displays the TP window, select the top pane and click on the Add button, or select an existing invokable TP definition and click on the Zoom button.
•On a client, issue the snaptpinstall command.
For information about using the snaptpinstall command, see Appendix C, “Configuring an Invokable TP Using snaptpinstall.”
TP Invocation Parameters
The following parameters are required for a TP that can be invoked on the local node:
TP nameA TP name in one of the following forms:
Application TP
If the remote TP is a user application, supply the name as normal characters (up to 64 characters in length).
Service TP
If the remote TP is an SNA service transaction program, enter the name in hexadecimal (up to eight hexadecimal digits, representing 4 bytes).
You can define multiple TPs that have the same TP name, provided each TP definition specifies a different LU alias.
Parameters are for invocation on any LU/on specific LUWhether to make the TP invokable on any LU or only on a specific LU. By default, the TP can be invoked on any LU.
