Appendix B. Definitions Required for Network Connections

    This appendix contains examples of the definitions you need for network connections. Use these definitions only as examples.

Sample CICS Definitions

This section contains sample CICS definitions. You are recommended to define CICS connections, sessions, and profiles using RDO. In the following examples, the RDO group name is COMGRP and the LU names are SWSVLU01 (send) and SWSVLU02 (receive).

Connection Definition

  You need to define two CICS connections to each CallPath SwitchServer/2, one for send and one for receive.

Sessions Definition

 

Figure 32 shows a CICS sessions definition. You need one sessions definition for each connection definition.

Sample VTAM and NCP Definitions

This section contains sample VTAM and NCP definitions.

Note: The definitions supplied here are examples only. Use them as a guide for setting up your own definitions, with the help of your systems programmer.

Notes:

  1. The LU names (SWSVLU01 and SWSVLU02) must match the LU names that are configured in the Local APPC LU Profile of Operating System/2® (OS/2) CommServer/2.

  2. The PU name (SWITSER1) must match the PU name in the SNA Base Profile of CommServer/2.
