Communications/Transactions Guide and Reference
Use the CPI-C Connection Spec - Settings window to change the attributes of
a CPI-C Connection Spec.
Use the Destination tab to specify the
transaction program (TP) and logical unit (LU) you want to connect to:
- Partner TP name
- In the Partner TP name field, type the name of the transaction
program (TP) you want to access on the remote host
- Partner LU alias
- From the Partner LU alias field, type the alias 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
- In the Symbolic destination field, type the symbolic
destination name of the partner you want to connect to. This symbolic
destination name must be defined as an entry in your CPI-C side
information.
If you specify a symbolic destination, you do not need to specify values in
the following fields:
- Userid
- In the Userid field, type the user ID you want to use to access
the remote system.
- Password
- In the Password field, type the password you want to use to
access the remote system.
- Security
- From the Security combo box, specify the level of APPC
conversation security to use (Same, Pgm, or
None).
- Mode
- From the Mode combo box, specify the transmission mode to use
for the session. This mode can be any mode defined in the local
Communications Manager configuration. The default value is
#INTER.
- Sync level
- From the Sync level combo box, specify the level of APPC
synchronization to use for the conversation.
- Return control
- From the Return control combo box, specify when the local LU
should return control to the VisualAge application following an attempt to
open a connection.
Use the Data Attributes tab to specify
program initialization parameters and data handling options for a CPIC
conversation.
- Code page
- In the Code page field, type the character code page used by
the remote system. The default code page is whatever the current code
page is for the system you are developing your application on.
- Buffer length
- In the Buffer length field, type the size of the memory buffer
VisualAge should allocate for the data sent to and received from the
server. For a remote external function call, the buffer size must be at
least as large as the total size of the record used by the function.
The default value for this field is 1024.
- Big endian
- Select Big endian to specify you want the partner to use the
bigEndian format. If you do not select Big endian, the
partner uses littleEndian format.
