Manual configuration for APPN and HPR
After you configure an advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) environment, you need to change network attributes, the first step in configuring APPN and HPR.
- Changing network attributes
Network attributes describe the local system name, the default local location name, the default control point name, the local network identifier, and the network node type. - Creating controller descriptions for APPC connections
A controller description defines the adjacent systems in the network. To create controller descriptions, follow these steps. - Creating device descriptions for APPC connections
A device description for APPC connections describes the characteristics of the physical or program device that is to communicate with the local system. - Creating APPN location lists
An APPN locations list defines special characteristics of remote locations for APPN. - Creating mode descriptions
A mode description describes the session characteristics (including the number of sessions) that are used to negotiate the allowable values between the local and remote locations. The iSeries mode descriptions are used only by APPC, APPN, and HPR support. - Creating class-of-service descriptions
Class-of-service descriptions are used only by APPN and HPR. A class-of-service description tells the system which network nodes and transmission groups are acceptable and, of those acceptable, which are preferred during route selection.
