This is the unique name of the SNAP-IX configuration file. The default
for this name is sna_node.cfg.
Although it
is possible to edit this file, it is strongly recommended that configuration
is done using xsnadmin.
2 Control point name
This is the unique Control point name for this workstation. In the SNA
network, the Control point is an addressable location (PU type 2.1). Your
network administrator will assign this to you.
3 Node ID to send
This is the unique ID of this workstation. On other platforms this is
often referred to as the Exchange ID or XID. Your network administrator will assign this ID for you.
4 Network name
This is the unique ID of the network to which you are connected. It
is an alphanumeric value and can be 1-8 characters long. The network name
works with the Control point name to uniquely identify a system. Your network
administrator will tell you the value.
5 Local APPC LU
An LU manages the exchange of data between transactions. The local APPC
LU name is the name of the LU on your system. Your network administrator will
assign this to you.
6 APPC mode
This is the name given to the set of parameters that control the APPC
conversation. This name must be defined at each partner system. Your network
administrator will assign this to you.
7 Invokable TP
WebSphere MQ applications trying to converse with this workstation will specify
a symbolic name for the program to be run at the receiving end. This will
have been defined on the channel definition at the sender. For simplicity,
wherever possible use a transaction program name of MQSERIES, or in the case
of a connection to VSE/ESA(TM), where the length is limited to 4 bytes, use MQTP.
8 Local MAC address
This is the network address of the token-ring card. The address to be
specified is found in the ether value displayed in response to the ifconfig tr0 command issued at a root level of authority. (Tr0 is the name of the
machine's token-ring interface.) If you do not have the necessary level
of authority, your Sun Solaris system administrator can tell you the value.
9 Port name
This is a meaningful symbolic name that is used to associate the definitions
with a network interface (in this case, a Token-Ring adapter). A separate
Port must be defined for each physical device attached to the workstation.
10 Full path to executable
This is the path and name of the script file that invokes the WebSphere MQ program
to run.
11 Local queue manager
This is the name of the queue manager on your local system.
10 Link station name
This is a meaningful symbolic name by which the connection to a peer
or host node is known. It defines a logical path to the remote system. Its
name is used only inside SNAP-IX and is specified by you. The connection must
be associated with an existing Link and owned by one local node. You must
define one connection for each partner or host system.
18 CPI-C symbolic destination name
This is a name given to the definition of a partner node. You choose
the name. It need be unique only on this machine. Later you can use this name
in the WebSphere MQ sender channel definition.
20 Node ID to receive
This is the unique ID of the partner workstation with which you will
be communicating. On other platforms this is often referred to as the Exchange ID or XID. For a connection
to a host system any values except 000 FFFFF and FFF FFFFF may be specified. Your network administrator will assign this ID for
you.
