Configuring APPC Communication

Defining CPI-C Side Information

Specify this option to use a member of the default pool (if one exists) or the node control point LU (if no default pool is defined).

If the APPCLLU environment variable is set, the local LU information you supply is ignored, and the LU specified for the environment variable is used instead.

Partner LU

Either an alias or the fully qualified partner LU name for conversations initiated by local TPs using this side information. The partner LU must be an LU that is configured on the computer that runs the partner TP.

Mode

The name of the APPC mode that is to be used to access the partner LU. In most cases, the mode is one of the following predefined modes:

•A blank name

•#BATCH

•#BATCHSC

•#INTER

•#INTERSC

•QPCSUPP

Partner TP

The name of the transaction program with which the

CPI-C application communicates:

•If the TP is a user application, specify the name as normal characters (up to 64 characters in length).

•If the TP is a service TP, specify the name in hexadecimal (up to 8 hexadecimal digits, representing 4 bytes).

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

Security

The level of conversation-level security you want to use. The options are as follows:

None

The partner TP does not require security parameters to be checked.
