SLI_SEND

  • Article

The SLI_SEND verb sends responses, SNA commands, and data from a Microsoft® Windows® logical unit application (LUA) application to a host logical unit (LU).

The following structure describes the LUA_COMMON member of the verb control block (VCB) used by SLI_SEND.

The second syntax union below describes the LUA_SPECIFIC member of the VCB used by SLI_SEND. Other union members are omitted for clarity.

LUA_RESERVED_FIELD_NOT_ZERO

Secondary return code; a reserved parameter for the verb just issued is not set to zero.

LUA_INVALID_POST_HANDLE

Secondary return code; for a Microsoft Windows operating system using events as the asynchronous posting method, the Windows LUA VCB does not contain a valid event handle.

LUA_INVALID_FLOW

Secondary return code; the lua_flag1 flow flags were set incorrectly when a verb was issued:

When issuing SLI_SEND to send an SNA response, set only one lua_flag1 flow flag.

When issuing SLI_RECEIVE, set at least one lua_flag1 flow flag.

LUA_VERB_LENGTH_INVALID

Secondary return code; an LUA verb was issued with a value for lua_verb_length unexpected by LUA.

LUA_REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING

Secondary return code; the verb that was issued either did not include a data pointer (if the data count was not zero) or did not include an lua_flag1 flow flag.

LUA_INVALID_MESSAGE_TYPE

Secondary return code; the lua_message_type parameter is not recognized by the LUA interface.

LUA_DATA_LENGTH_ERROR

Secondary return code; the application did not provide user-supplied data required by the verb issued. Note that when SLI_SEND is issued for an SNA LUSTAT command, status (in four bytes) is required, and that when SLI_OPEN is issued with secondary initialization, data is required.

LUA_STATE_CHECK
Primary return code; the verb did not execute because it was issued in an invalid state.

LUA_NO_SLI_SESSION

Secondary return code; a session was not open or was down due to an SLI_CLOSE or session failure when a command was issued.

LUA_MAX_NUMBER_OF_SENDS

Secondary return code; the application issued a third SLI_SEND before one completed.

LUA_SEND_ON_FLOW_PENDING

Secondary return code; an SLI_SEND was still outstanding when the application issued another SLI_SEND for an SNA flow.

LUA_SESSION_FAILURE
Primary return code; an error condition, specified in the secondary return code, caused the session to fail.

LUA_RECEIVED_UNBIND

Secondary return code; the primary logical unit (PLU) sent an SNA UNBIND command to the LUA interface when a session was active. As a result, the session was stopped.

Secondary return code; no session has been initialized for the LUA verb issued, or some verb other than SLI_OPEN was issued before the session was initialized.

LUA_LU_COMPONENT_DISCONNECTED

Secondary return code; an LU component is unavailable because it is not connected properly. Make sure that the power is on.

LUA_DATA_SEGMENT_LENGTH_ERROR

Secondary return code; one of the following has occurred:

Secondary return code; a severe error occurred while the LUA was attempting to stop the session. This LU is unavailable for any LUA requests until an activate logical unit (ACTLU) is received from the host.

LUA_MODE_INCONSISTENCY

Secondary return code; performing this function is not allowed by the current status. The request sent to the half-session component was not executed even though it was understood and supported. This SNA sense code is also an exception request sense code.

LUA_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES

Secondary return code; a temporary condition of insufficient resources caused the request receiver to be unable to perform. The request sent to the half-session component was not executed, even though it was understood and supported.

LUA_SEND_CORRELATION_TABLE_FULL

Secondary return code; the session send correlation table for the flow requested reached its capacity.

LUA_RU_LENGTH_ERROR

Secondary return code; the request/response unit (RU) request was an incorrect length (either too short or too long). The request unit was not interpreted or processed even though it was delivered to the half-session component. The half-session capabilities do not match. This SNA sense code is also an exception request sense code.

LUA_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED

Secondary return code; LUA does not support the requested function. A control character, an RU parameter, or a formatted request code may have specified the function. Specific sense code information is in bytes 2 and 3.

LUA_HDX_BRACKET_STATE_ERROR

Secondary return code; the existing state error prevented the current request from being sent. The determination was made by a protocol computer.

Secondary return code; the sender failed to enforce the session bracket rules. Note that contention and race conditions are exempt from this error. An invalid request header or request unit for the receivers current session control or data flow control state was found. Delivery to the half-session component was prevented.

LUA_DIRECTION

Secondary return code; while the half-duplex flip-flop state was NOT_RECEIVE, a request for normal flow was received. An invalid request header or request unit for the receivers current session control or data flow control state was found. Delivery to the half-session component was prevented.

LUA_DATA_TRAFFIC_RESET

Secondary return code; a half-session of an active session but with inactive data traffic received a normal flow data flow control (DFC) or function management data (FMD) request.

LUA_DATA_TRAFFIC_QUIESCED

Secondary return code; a DFC or FMD request was received from a half-session that sent either a SHUTC command or QC command, and the DFC or FMD request has not responded to a RELQ command. An invalid request header or request unit for the receivers current session control or data flow control state was found. Delivery to the half-session component was prevented.

LUA_DATA_TRAFFIC_NOT_RESET

Secondary return code; while the data traffic state was not reset, the session control request was received. An invalid request header or request unit for the received current session control or data flow control state was found. Delivery to the half-session component was prevented.

LUA_NO_BEGIN_BRACKET

Secondary return code; the receiver has already sent a positive response to a BIS command when a BID or an FMD request specifying BBI=BB was received. An invalid request header or request unit for the received current session control or data flow control state was found. Delivery to the half-session component was prevented.

LUA_SC_PROTOCOL_VIOLATION

Secondary return code; a violation of SC protocol occurred. A request (that is permitted only after an SC request and a positive response to that request have been successfully exchanged) was received before the required exchange.

LUA_INVALID_VERB
Primary return code; either the verb code or the operation code, or both, is invalid. The verb did not execute.

Remarks

SLI_SEND sends responses, SNA commands, and data from the Windows LUA application to a host LU. A session must already be open to issue SLI_SEND for a particular LU-LU session flow. To send data on the SSCP normal flow prior to the completion of SLI_OPEN, the session must have been initialized as primary with SSCP access. In addition, the session status must be INIT_COMPLETE.

The settings for lua_message_type determine the type of processing that will be done by SLI_SEND. The following table indicates the parameters to set based on the value of lua_message_type.

SLI_SEND parameter LU_DATA

SSCP_DATA		 BID

BIS

RTR		 CHASE

QC		 LUSTAT_LU

LUSTAT_SSCP		 QEC

lua_th 0 0 0 0 0 0 SNF

The location provided in lua_data_ptr and the length provided in lua_data_length determine the data that the SLI sends. The data will be chained by the SLI verbs if necessary.

When sending a response, the type of response determines the SLI_SEND information required. For all responses, you must:

  • Set the selected lua_flag1 flow flag.

  • Provide the sequence number in lua_th.snf for the request to which you are responding.

  • Set lua_message_type to LUA_MESSAGE_TYPE_RSP.

    For multichain message responses, the sequence number of the last received chain element must be used. For a response to a multichain message ending with a CANCEL command, the CANCEL command sequence number is used.

    For positive responses that only require the request code, set lua_rh.ri to zero (indicating that the response is positive) and lua_data_length to zero (indicating no data is provided). The request code is filled in by the SLI, using the sequence number provided.

    For negative responses in which lua_rh.ri is set to 1, set the lua_data_ptr to the SNA sense code address and the lua_data_length to the SNA sense code length (four bytes). The sequence number is used by the SLI to fill in the request code.
