Defining an LU 6.2 connection on UNIX and Linux

SNA must be configured so that an LU 6.2 conversation can be established between the two machines.

For the latest information about configuring SNA over TCP/IP, see the following online IBM documentation: Communications Server.

SNA must be configured so that an LU 6.2 conversation can be established between the two systems.

See the Multiplatform APPC Configuration Guide and the following table for information.

Remote platform	TPNAME	TPPATH
z/OS without CICS	The same as the corresponding TPName in the side information about the remote queue manager.	-
z/OS using CICS	CKRC (sender) CKSV (requester) CKRC (server)	-
IBM i	The same as the compare value in the routing entry on the IBM i system.	-
UNIX and Linux systems	The same as the corresponding TPName in the side information about the remote queue manager.	MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/bin/amqcrs6a
Windows	As specified in the Windows Run Listener command, or the invokable Transaction Program that was defined using TpSetup on Windows.	MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\bin\amqcrs6a

MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.

If we have more than one queue manager on the same machine, ensure that the TPnames in the channel definitions are unique.

Send end on LU 6.2 on UNIX and Linux
On UNIX and Linux systems, create a CPI-C side object (symbolic destination) and enter this name in the Connection name field in the channel definition. Also create an LU 6.2 link to the partner.
Receive on LU 6.2 on UNIX and Linux
On UNIX and Linux systems, create a listening attachment at the receiving end, an LU 6.2 logical connection profile, and a TPN profile.
