Details for Configuring for LU6.2

When configuring a Comm. Bridge to use CPI-C for a target server, the following parameters from the SNA network configuration are required:

• Partner LU name of the application LU name for CICS or z/OS APPC address space (for use with IMS)
• Local LU Alias

Note: 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.

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