Top

Local location address (LOCADR)

Specifies the local location address for this device.

Valid values range from 01 to FE.

*SAME: The value does not change.

Online at IPL (ONLINE)

Specifies whether this object is automatically varied on at initial program load (IPL).

*SAME: The value does not change.

*YES: This device is varied on automatically at IPL.
*NO: This device is not varied on automatically at IPL.

Pacing value (PACING)

Specifies the SNA pacing value used for request/response units (RUs).

*SAME: The value does not change.

pacing-value: Specify a value, ranging from 1 through 7.

Maximum length of request unit (MAXLENRU)

Specifies the maximum request unit (RU) length allowed.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*CALC: The system calculates the value to use.

maximum-length-request-unit: Specify 247, 256, 503, 512, 1015, or 1024 bytes as the maximum length for incoming request units.

Application type (APPTYPE)

Specifies the application type used by this device.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*OTHER: This device communicates with either HCP, if 01 is specified for the Local location address (LOCADR) parameter, or an application on the controller. *OTHER should always be specified when 01 is specified for the LOCADR parameter. For a 4684 controller, this parameter should not be specified if the LOCADR parameter is any value other than 01.
*RCMS: This device communicates with the remote change management server (RCMS). *RCMS should only be specified for a 4680 or a 4684 controller. For a 4684 controller, *RCMS should be specified if the LOCADR parameter is any value other than 01.
*SBMRTLPGM: This device is used with the Submit Retail Program (SBMRTLPGM) command to start a program on the retail controller using the ADCS SUP (Start User Program) support. This value is valid only when the Retail Point-of-Sale Communications Facility Licensed Program is being used on the controller. *SBMRTLPGM should not be specified for a 4684 controller.

Activation timer (ACTTMR)

Specifies, for switched lines, the amount of time (in seconds) that the SNA pass-through support waits for the device to respond to the activation request from the host iSeries system. If the device does not respond within this time, it is considered not available.

*SAME: The value does not change.

activation-timer: Specify a number ranging from 1 through 2550 indicating the number of seconds before the device is considered not available.

Inactivity timer (INACTTMR)

Specifies, for devices connected using SNA pass-through support, a timeout value that measures the amount of time that the device is not bound to a host application. When the timeout value is exceeded, the session is ended.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*NOMAX: No maximum inactivity time is tracked (no inactivity timer is be enforced).
*SEC15: A 15-second timeout period is used.
*SEC30: A 30-second timeout period is used.
inactivity-timer: Specifies a timeout value in minutes. Valid values range from 1 through 30 minutes.

SNA pass-through device desc (SNPTDEV)

Specifies the name of the associated SNA pass-through device that is attached to a host or advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) controller.

*SAME: The value does not change.
*NONE: No name is specified.
associated-device-name: Specify the name of a device that is attached to a host or an APPC controller that is associated with this device.

SNA pass-through group name (SNPTGRP)

Specifies the name configured for a group of host devices in a configuration list. This indicates that this device is tied to any one of the devices in that group which is available.

*SAME: The value does not change.
*NONE: No name is specified.
group-name: Specify the name configured for a group of host devices that must be associated with this device.

Examples

CHGDEVRTL   DEVD(RTL1)  PACING(5)

This command changes a retail device description named RTL1, specifying 5 as the new pacing value.
