Configuring Remote LUs

In this procedure, you configure a remote Logical Unit ( LU) that is assigned to a connection.

Independent LUs are used to communicate over the host connection. You need to configure:

Local Advanced Program to program Communication (APPC) LUs
Remote LUs: When communicating with host systems running VTAM (or NCP), the Remote LU is known as the APPLID.

Parameter	Example value	Origin and description
Connection	`MVSHOST1`	Defined in the Configuring the Connection task.
LU Alias	`HSTCICS1`	Mainframe system administrator: This LU name should match the definition of the LU as it exists on the remote system, in this case in the form of a VTAM APPLID definition on the host system. To communicate with a host CICS system, this is the host CICS APPLID.
Implicit Incoming Mode	`#INTER`	Mainframe system administrator: Used to negotiate the session limits with the host.
Network Name	`HSTCICS1`	Defaults to the value specified for the connection

Note:

When a connection is established between a Local LU and a Remote LU, the Mode characteristics are negotiated. The partner system (for example, the mainframe) may reduce the session limits, and fewer client sessions than expected may be supported. Hence it is important that the Mode characteristics as defined for both the Local and Remote LUs are compatible.
