LU 6.2 transaction program name (TPNAME)

This attribute is for use with LU 6.2 connections. It is the name, or generic name, of the transaction program (MCA) to be run at the far end of the link.

When using side information for SNA communications, the transaction program name is defined in the CPI-C Communications Side Object or APPC side information and this attribute must be left blank. Otherwise, this name is required by sender channels and requester channels.

The name can be up to 64 characters long.

The name must be set to the SNA transaction program name, unless the CONNAME contains a side-object name in which case it must be set to blanks. The actual name is taken instead from the CPI-C Communications Side Object, or the APPC side information data set.

This information is set in different ways on different platforms; see Configure distributed queuing for more information about setting up communication for the platform.

This attribute is valid for channel types of:

• Sender
• Server
• Requester
• Client connection
• Cluster sender
• Cluster receiver
