Configuring APPC

Transaction program

In the transaction program name field, enter the name of the transaction program that will be executed when a client connects to this server instance using the APPC protocol.

If DB2 detects an APPC stack that it can configure, then you can enter the information that is needed, and DB2 will configure it. If it has been configured already, you are allowed to change only the LU name.

For DB2 to configure the APPC stack, you must provide the following information.
Note:The following fields will only appear if DB2 detected an APPC stack.

Network ID

Enter the name of the network to which the server is connected. This name is used to identify the network for system management and problem determination.

The network name can be 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters. The special characters @, #, or $ are also allowed; the first character cannot be numeric.

Control Point

Enter the control point name of the server; this is also known as the physical unit (PU) name.

The PU name can be 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters.

Local LU

Enter the logical unit (LU) name of the server.

The LU name can be 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters. The special characters @, #, or $ are also allowed; the first character cannot be @.

Select the Use as default check box if you want this LU to be used as the default LU for the server.

Node ID

The node ID might be optional, depending on how communications are set up on the server. It consists of two parts:

If your server does not require that you assign a node ID, then leave the Node ID blank or set it to 05D 00000.
