Configuring APPC Communication
Defining Partner LUs
Partner LU Configuration Parameters
The following parameters are required for partner LU configuration:
Partner LU name
The fully qualified LU name of the partner LU. This
name must match the name that is configured at the
remote node for this LU. If you do not know what that
name is, consult your SNA network planner.
This field applies when you define partner LU on a
specific remote node or when you define a partner LU
alias.
Wildcard partner LU name
A name that matches the fully qualified LU names of
multiple partner LUs. (This field applies only if you
define partner LUs using wildcards.) The wildcard
partner LU name consists of two strings, each of 1–8
characters:
• The first string can be a complete SNA network
name that matches the first part of the fully
qualified partner LU names exactly, or a wildcard
prefix that matches the beginning of the network
name for the partner LUs. If you supply a wildcard
prefix as the value for the first string, leave the
second string blank. For example, a wildcard entry
of A would match all LUs in the SNA networks
named A, ANT, or APPN (but not BUFFALO or
ZEBRA).
• If you supply a complete SNA network name for the
first string, you can also enter a value for the second
string. (You cannot specify the second string
without supplying a valid SNA network name for
the first string.) The second string is treated as a
wildcard prefix, which must match the start of the
second part of the fully qualified partner LU names.
For example, a wildcard entry of A.F would match
partner LUs names A.FRED or A.FREDDY (but not
APPN.FRED or A.B).
If you leave both strings blank, the wildcard partner
LU definition matches any partner LU name.
