Intercommunication

Configuration parameters for an LU 6.2 connection

Table 48 presents a worksheet listing all the parameters needed to set up communication from iSeries to one of the other WebSphere MQ platforms. The worksheet shows examples of the parameters, which have been tested in a working environment, and leaves space for you to fill in your own values. An explanation of the parameter names follows the worksheet. Use the worksheet in this chapter in conjunction with the worksheet in the chapter for the platform to which you are connecting.

Configuration worksheet

Use the following worksheet to record the values you will use for this configuration. Where numbers appear in the Reference column they indicate that the value must match that in the appropriate worksheet elsewhere in this book. The examples that follow in this chapter refer back to the values in the ID column of this table. The entries in the Parameter Name column are explained in Explanation of terms.

Explanation of terms

(1) (2) (3): See How to find network attributes for the details of how to find the configured values.
(4) LAN destination address: The hardware address of the iSeries system token-ring adapter. You can find the value using the command DSPLIND Line description ((6)).
(5) Subsystem description: This is the name of any OS/400 subsystem that will be active while using the queue manager. The name QCMN has been used because this is the OS/400 communications subsystem.
(6) Line description: If this has been specified it is indicated in the Description field of the resource Resource name. See How to find the value of Resource name for details. If the value is not specified you will need to create a line description.
(7) Resource name: See How to find the value of Resource name for details of how to find the configured value.
(8) Local Transaction Program name: WebSphere MQ applications trying to converse with this workstation will specify a symbolic name for the program to be run at the receiving end. This will have been defined on the channel definition at the sender. For simplicity, wherever possible use a transaction program name of MQSERIES, or in the case of a connection to VSE/ESA, where the length is limited to 4 bytes, use MQTP.
See Table 47 for more information.
(12) Controller description: This is an alias for the Control Point name (or Node name) of the partner system. For convenience we have used the actual name of the partner in this example.
(13) Device: This is an alias for the LU of the partner system. For convenience we have used the LU name of the partner in this example.
(14) Side information: This is the name given to the CPI-C side information profile. You specify your own 8-character name for this.

How to find network attributes

The local node has been partially configured as part of the OS/400 installation. To display the current network attributes enter the command DSPNETA.

If you need to change these values use the command CHGNETA. An IPL may be required to apply your changes.

Check that the values for Local network ID ((1)), Local control point name ((2)), and Default local location ((3)), correspond to the values on your worksheet.

How to find the value of Resource name

Type WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*CMN) and press Enter. The Work with Communication Resources panel is displayed. The value for Resource name is found as the Token-Ring Port. It is LIN041 in this example.
