Define a Dynamic Link Table

A Dynamic Link Table (DLT) is used to support the dynamic addition of different types of links, including INMC and APPC links. In the case of APPC the DLT is used to define those LUs with which the local system will allow automatic link activation. Two types of APPC links can be defined, those that support parallel LU6.2 sessions and those that support only a single LU6.2 session.

To specify a DLT, use the DEFLINK command.

Example: Define a Dynamic Link Table

To allow an APPC link with an LU of NM1, enter the following command:

DEFLINK TYPE=APPC LUNAME=NM1 LINK=NM1

The DLT supports other options including the specification of a password for link level security.
