Table 1. Values Required to Configure PComm for APPC
Symbols How to determine the value for this symbol Example value Fill in your value here
NETWORK VALUES
LUNAME This symbol refers to the LU name of the workstation that you are defining to the network. The value of this symbol should be supplied by the appropriate network administrator. Based on the level of VTAM and the use of APPN, the VTAM or LAN administrator will know the value of this symbol. STB7681I  
CPNAME This symbol defines the control point name of the workstation. For workstations that define a single APPC LU, this symbol defaults to the LUNAME value. The VTAM administrator can use this value to identify this workstation during session initialization (see the PU definition in the section titled "Defining the 3745 Attached LAN to VTAM" for more information). STB7681I  
NODEID This is the value as defined in VTAM for IDBLK (Block ID) and IDNUM (Physical Unit ID). This value will be provided by the host VTAM administrator if VTAM uses IDBLK and IDNUM to identify this workstation during session initialization (as opposed to CPNAME). See the values of IDBLK and IDNUM in Table 2. 05D B7681  
NETWORK This symbol identifies the network that the workstation is being defined within. If the workstation belongs to the same network as the host system, this symbol should be supplied by your VTAM administrator. See the value of NETNAME in Table 2. USIBMST  
PARTNERCP This symbol defines the partner control point (CP) name. Assuming the partner CP is the host, this value should be provided by the VTAM administrator. See the value of LOCALCP in Table 2.

PARTNERCP is used to define the host connection to PComm.

ST02CDRM  
PARTNERLU This symbol identifies the APPC/MVS LU to the workstation. This value should be supplied by the APPC/MVS or VTAM administrator of the host system to which you are connecting. The host administrator should supply the name of the APPC/MVS LU that is designated for use with VisualAge COBOL. See the value of LUNAME in Table 2.

This symbol is used in defining Common Programming Interface-Communications (CPI-C) side information in defining a host connection.

ST11APPC  
PARTNERNET This symbol is the name of the network in which your MVS host resides. This symbol should be supplied by the VTAM administrator of the host to which you are connecting. See the value of NETNAME in Table 2. USIBMST  
LOCALPU If host focal support is defined for an associated connection, this value defaults to CPNAME. If host focal support is not defined for a connection, this value can be any name you choose as long as it uniquely defines the PU for a connection within PComm. STB7681I  
LINKNAME This symbol is used to reference a connection or link that is defined to either the host system or an intermediary node. When defining a new link, this symbol can be assigned a value of your choice (for example, VACOB1). VACOB1  
LANADDRESS This symbol is for the LAN Address of the partner computer (or the LAN Address of a network node, if the link is being made to a network node).

In the sample network described in this chapter, LANADDRESS is the token-ring address in the 3745 to which the LAN is attached. This address should be supplied by the LAN or NCP administrator See the value of NCPLANADDR in Table 2.

400009451005  
MODE This symbol is for the mode name. #INTER is recommended.

This value should correspond to MODE at the host. For more information about MODE at the host, see Table 2.

This symbol is used to define CPI-C side information entries at the workstation for sessions.

#INTER  
LOCAL VALUES
NODETYPE This symbol is for the APPN node type. This should be EN configured as an end node, or NN configured as a network node.

Use the value EN unless you are using APPN and this workstation is a network node.

EN  
LUALIAS This symbol is for the Local LU Alias. It designates a nickname for the Local LU. Alias names are case-sensitive. Using the value of LUNAME is adequate. STB7681I  
PLUALIAS This symbol is for the Partner LU Alias. It designates a nickname for the Partner LU. Alias names are case-sensitive. STLMVS1
