Configuring APPC Communication

Defining CPI-C Side Information

Defining CPI-C Side Information

If you are supporting a CPI-C application that uses CPI-C symbolic destination names, you need to define the CPI-C side information. The side information associates the symbolic destination name with information about the partner TP, partner LU, mode, and security for the conversation.

To determine the symbolic destination name for CPI-C, consult the application developer (or for a third-party application, consult the product documentation).

To configure CPI-C side information, use one of the following methods:

Motif administration program

Select APPC and CPI-Cfrom the Services menu on the Node window.

Command-line administration program Issue the following command:

define_cpic_side_info

CPI-C Configuration Parameters

For each CPI-C symbolic destination name used by the application, collect the following information:

Name

The symbolic destination name used by the CPI-C applications (also known as TPs) that you want to run. This name can be 1–8 characters in length.

The application developer (or for a third-party application, the product documentation) can provide this name.

Local LU

The local LU for any conversations initiated by TPs using this side information using one of the following methods:

Local LU alias

An alias for a local LU.
