Configuring APPC Communication
Defining TPs
The TP is started in the home directory associated with this user ID. This home directory is also the default path for trace files and any other files accessed by the TP (unless the application overrides it by specifying a full path). If the application specifies a file name without a path, SNAplus2 searches for the file in this home directory; if the application specifies a file name with a relative path, SNAplus2 searches for the file in the specified directory relative to this home directory. The executable file for the TP, specified by the Full path to TP executable parameter, must have execute permission for the specified user. In addition, if User ID is set to root, the file must be owned by root and must have setuid and setgid permission in order to be started automatically by SNAplus2.
