APPN Tracing
At IML the configured value will determine whether Tracing is Enabled or not. A dump at
crash time will contain the Sigtrace info only if Tracing is Enabled. (Customer would have to
reconfigure to Enabled and IML to capture the failure with Sigtrace info included in the dump.)
The tracing can be Disabled/Enabled from the APPN Menu “Item 12 APPN Tracing” Panel if
the FE or Engineering switch is ON (Menu Items 12 - 15 do not appear if neither switch is ON).
APPN Dynamic Connections
APPN Dynamic Connection 00 LINCS C8.2 Central Control
Line: TRC1
Link Profile: 02 (LLC)
Local SAP: 04
Dynamic Circuits: 032
Virtual Routing Node Name: THISNTWK . ________ (netid.cpname)
PF1: 1-Menu 4-Add 5-Delete 7-Back 8-Forw 9-Default 10-Done
The APPN Dynamic Connection panel(s) will be displayed following the SNA Options panel
if the following conditions are met.
• APPN is enabled by defining an APPN CP Name on the SNA Options panel.
• A line and link profile for a dynamic APPN protocol have been defined.
The first panel displayed will default to the first line and first link profile with a dynamic
APPN protocol enabled. You can change the line and link profiles, or page forward to the next
line. If all APPN connections in your network will be predefined, fields on this panel may be
left at their default settings.
Line
Toggle to select the line for which the APPN Dynamic Connection options will be defined.
Link Profile
This Link Profile will be used for the Dynamic Circuits and/or Virtual Routing Node. The
link profile contains the Transmission Group Characteristics which are used in route selection.
Local SAP
The local SAP is the SAP used to communicate with this APPN node. Note that the local
LAN address is defined on the Line options panel.
The Local SAP is a 2 digit hex value, which defaults to X’04'. Valid SAP addresses are
multiples of 4, ranging from 4 to EC (hex). If LANSYS connections are enabled on this line,
SAP 98 (hex) is not valid. If IPX is enabled on this line, SAP E0 (hex) is not valid. If Dynamic
Circuits are defined, and LU to PU Mapped Circuits are configured on this line, then this
Local SAP cannot match the LU to PU Mapped Local SAP.
