Communications/Transactions Guide and Reference
To set up a CPI-C conversation, first open the settings for the Proc Dialog
part, then fill in the following fields on the Destination
Information page of the notebook:
- Partner TP name
- The name of the transaction program you want to access on the remote
host.
- Partner LU alias
- The alias or fully qualified name of the logical unit (LU) you want to
connect to on the remote host. This is the LU through which the partner
TP accesses the network.
- Symbolic destination
- The symbolic destination name of the partner you want to connect
to. This must be a symbolic destination defined as an entry in your
CPI-C side information. This field is required only if you want to use
a symbolic destination to identify the remote partner.
A CPI-C side information entry defines the following:
- The fully qualified name or alias of the remote LU
- The partner TP name
- The security type to use
- The mode name to use
If you specify a symbolic destination, you do not need to specify values in
those fields. If you do, however, the values you specify will override
the values defined in the CPI-C side information.
You can also specify values in the optional security fields of the settings
notebook. Fill in the following fields on the Destination
page:
- User ID
- The user ID required to access the remote system.
- Password
- The password required to access to remote system.
- Security type
- The level of CPI-C conversation security to use. The valid values
are:
- NONE (Default)
- SAME
- PROGRAM
Fill in the following fields on the Conversation page:
- Mode
- The transmission mode to use for the session. This can be any mode
defined in the local Communications Manager configuration. The default
value is #INTER.
- Sync level
- The level of CPI-C synchronization to use for the conversation. The
valid values are as follows:
- NONE (this is the default value)
- CONFIRM
- Return control
- Specifies when the local LU returns control to the VisualAge application
following an attempt to open a connection. The valid values are as
follows:
- WhenSessionAllocated (this is the default)
- Immediate
Fill in the following fields on the Data Attributes page:
- Code page
- The character code page used by the remote system. The default code
page is the current code page for the system.
- Buffer length
- The size of the memory buffer VisualAge allocates for the data sent to and
received from the server. For a proc dialog, the buffer size must be at
least as large as the total size of the record used by the remote program
logic.
The default value for this field is 1024.
- Big endian
- A check box that determines the byte order for integers sent to the
partner. If checked, the partner uses a BigEndian format;
otherwise the partner uses LittleEndian format.
