Configuring the Client Manager for LU6.2

When configuring a Client Manager to use CPI-C for a given target server, the following parameters from the LU6.2 network configuration are required:

• Partner LU name of the application LU name for CICS or IMS
• Local LU Alias - This field may or may not be used depending on the SNA service provider. Certain SNA providers allow an application to specify the Local LU Alias prior to allocating a conversation. Others select the LU based on their own defined convention. This field is ignored if the SNA service provider does not allow the Local LU Alias to be specified by the application program.

  Note: For more information about how a Local LU is selected for use by a CPI-C application program, see the third-party vendor documentation.

• Mode Table Entry name
• Code Page number

Follow these steps:

1. Start the Client Manager and select Server, Config.
2. Enter a server name and description for this target server connection.
3. Select CPI-C from the Transport API selection list. The Client Manager automatically supplies the API DLL name.
4. Click Details to display the LU6.2 (CPI-C) Server Configuration – Details dialog.
5. Provide the LU6.2 parameter values listed above.
6. Click More to display the Server Configuration – More Details dialog.
7. Select an appropriate code page for translation.
8. Click OK to return to the Server Configuration – Details dialog.
9. Click OK to return to the Server Configuration dialog.
10. Click OK to return to the main menu.

    Save the current configuration.
