| Client
|
A machine, running a COBOL system, where you install communications client software. This machine accesses a host CICS environment via a local server.
|
| Data Link Control (DLC) link
|
The interface to the network. The attributes of a link can be divided into two parts:
- Characteristics of the port (logical and physical)
- Control characteristics of the link
|
| Control Point (CP, CP Name)
|
Identifies the local node manager that provides services to the local logical units.
|
| Link station
|
The part of data link control (DLC) that is responsible for the transfer of data between two communications services managers connected by a link.
|
| Local server
|
The machine with the SNA link to the host, where you install communications server software, to provide access to a COBOL System running on client PCs.
|
| Network name (NETID)
|
The name of the network to which the system is connected.
|
| Logical Unit (LU)
|
A network accessible unit (NAU). In SNA there are a number of logical unit types that identify the protocols supported by that logical unit. For APPC the LU type is 6.2 referred to as LU 6.2.
|
| Partner LU
|
The logical unit with which to communicate.
|
| Transaction Program (TP)
|
The program to be executed at one end of a conversation.
|
| Session
|
The logical connection between two network accessible units.
|
| Inter Systems Communications (ISC)
|
Two or more regions running on different processor complexes that are able to communicate with each other.
|
| Mode
|
The connection characteristics of a session.
