Create the controller description (Minneapolis to Chicago)
Because this is an APPN environment (iSeries system to iSeries system), the controller
is an APPC controller, and the CRTCTLAPPC command is used to define the attributes
of the controller. The example command defines the following attributes:
- CTLD(CHICAGO)
- The name assigned to the controller description is CHICAGO.
- LINKTYPE(*SDLC)
- Because this controller is attached through an SDLC communications line,
the value specified is *SDLC. This value must correspond to the type of line
that is defined by a create line description command.
- LINE(CHICAGO)
- The name of the line description to which this controller is attached
is CHICAGO. This value must match a name that is specified by the LIND parameter
in a line description.
- RMTNETID(APPN)
- The name of the network in which the remote control point resides is
APPN.
- RMTCPNAME(CHICAGO)
- The remote control-point name is CHICAGO. The name specified here must
match the name that is specified at the remote system for the local control-point
name. In the example, the name is specified at the remote system (CHICAGO)
by the LCLCPNAME parameter on the Change Network Attributes (CHGNETA) command.
- STNADR(01)
- The address assigned to the remote controller is hex 01.
- NODETYPE(*NETNODE)
- The remote system (CHICAGO) is an APPN network node.
