Activation timer (ACTTMR)

Specifies, for switched connections, 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.

170: Specifies the activate time of 170 seconds.
activation-timer: Specify a number ranging from 1 through 2550 indicating the number of seconds before the device is considered not available.

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.

*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.

*NONE: No name is specified.
group-name: Specify the name configured for a group of host devices that must be associated with this device.

Dependent location name (DEPLOCNAME)

Specifies the dependent local location name used for Dependent LU Requester (DLUR), providing additional security for the connection. If this name is filled in, an activation request (SNA ACTLU) from a Dependent LU Server (DLUS) node must reference this name or it is rejected.

Remote DLUS nodes may optionally accept unsolicited reply PSIDs (Product Set IDs) from the iSeries for auto-definition of LUs at the DLUS node. If so, then this name will be sent to the DLUS node in the reply PSID and it will be returned on the ACTLU request.

If unsolicited reply PSIDs are not supported by the DLUS node, then there will have to be close coordination of the PU name definitions on both systems.

*NONE: No location name is defined.
dependent-location-name: Specify the dependent location name used for DLUR applications.

Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.

*CHANGE: The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.

*ALL: The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management (*AUTLMGT) authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object. The user also can change ownership of the object.

*USE: The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.

*EXCLUDE: The user cannot access the object.

*LIBCRTAUT: The system determines the authority for the object by using the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter on the Create Library (CRTLIB) command for the library containing the object to be created. If the value specified for the CRTAUT parameter is changed, the new value will not affect any existing objects.

name: Specify the name of an authorization list to be used for authority to the object. Users included in the authorization list are granted authority to the object as specified in the list. The authorization list must exist when the object is created.

Examples

CRTDEVSNPT   DEVD(SNPTDEV1)  LOCADR(05) SNPTCLS(*UP)
             CTL(MYCTL)  SNPTDEV(DOWNDEV1)

This command creates a SNA pass-through device description named SNPTDEV1. The location address of the device is X'05'. The device is attached to controller MYCTL. The SNA pass-through class is *UP and the device name associated with this device is DOWNDEV1.
