Table of Parameters for IBM i Communication
The following table summarizes details about configuring Host Integration Server for the IBM i environment.
| SNA Server element |
Parameter name in Host Integration Server |
Instructions for configuring for the IBM i environment |
|---|---|---|
| Server | Network Name (Local Node) | This generally corresponds to the RMTNETID setting on the IBM i. (APPN is often used.) |
| Server | Control Point Name (Local Node) | Corresponds to RMTCPNAME on the IBM i. |
| Connection | Remote End | Select Peer System as the Remote End for the connection. |
| Connection | Activation | Coordinate with the switched disconnect (SWTDSC) setting on the IBM i. If SWTDSC is *YES, select On Demand. If SWTDSC is *NO, select On Server Startup. |
| Connection | Local Node ID | Specify the Local Node ID, a required parameter for all connections. This corresponds to EXCHID on the IBM i. |
| Connection | Control Point Name (Remote Node) | Specify the IBM i Control Point Name (CP name) as the remote Control Point Name for the connection. |
| Connection | Network Name (Remote Node) | Corresponds to the RMTNETID on the IBM i. (APPN is often used.) |
| Connection | Max BTU Length | Corresponds to the MAXFRAME setting on the IBM i. |
| Remote APPC LU | LU Name | Specify the Control Point Name of the IBM i as the remote LU name. |
| Mode | Mode name | Choose the QPCSUPP mode for all LU-LU pairs to be used for IBM i connectivity. |
| User or group listing | Default local APPC LU | Assign a Default local APPC LU to the user or group. If the user or group does not specify a local LU name when opening a session to an IBM i, this default local LU name will be used. |
| User or group listing | Default remote APPC LU | Assign a Default remote APPC LU which is the same as a default IBM i to the user or group. If the user or group does not specify a remote LU (that is, an IBM i) when opening a session, the assigned IBM i will be used. |
