Configuring VTAM

In VTAM, the host programmer must define an LU, PU and LU macros Instructions in a source language that point to sequences of instructions in the same language to replace them., and a PSF logmode table.

Defining an LU

PSF uses an application LU to communicate with the remote IPDS printer. The host programmer enters the LU definition in the SYS1.VTAMLST (APPL) library. The following is the LU definition required by the Barr software.

 

VBUILD

TYPE=APPL

psflu

APPL

AUTH=ACQ,EAS=1,SONSCIP=YES

Where psflu is the macro name. This must match the APPLID value in the PSF host configuration.

Defining PU and LU macros

The host programmer must enter the following definitions in an existing PU definition. PU definitions will be located on your host in SYS1.VTAMLST. The following is the LU macro for the IPDS LU.

luname01

LU

LOCADDR=1,DLOGMOD=BarrPSF

Parameter

Description

luname01

Enter the LU name for the IPDS LU. This value must match the luname01 in PSF host configuration. It must also match the IPDS remote LU Alias in the SNA gateway configuration.

LOCADDR=n

Enter a valid local address from 1 to 255. This value must match the IPDS local LU Number in the SNA gateway configuration.

DLOGMOD=BarrPSF

Enter the logon mode table entry. This must match the LOGMODE in the PSF logmode table and the Mode Name in SNA gateway configuration.

Defining a PSF logmode table

This is an example of a typical PSF logmode table definition. The logmode is defined in the SYS1.VTAMLIB library.

BarrPSF MODEENT LOGMODE=BarrPSF

FMPROF=X’13',TSPROF=X’07',PRIPROT=X’B0',

SECPROT=X’B0',COMPROT=X’D0B1',RUSIZES=X’8686’,

PSERVIC=X’060200000000000000002000',

PSNDPAC=X’07',SRCVPAC=X’07',SSNDPAC=X’00'

For LOGMODE=BarrPSF enter the logon mode table entry. This must match the DLOGMOD in the LU macro and the Mode Name in SNA gateway configuration. In some cases, IBM’s predefined logmode IBM3820 may work. You may want to reference the IBM logmode for required settings.
