z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming
SC27-3674-00

The two sessions that the application program must initiate with ISTPDCLU use the following LU-LU session type 0 protocols:
  • The user's application program initiates the sessions and acts as the primary logical unit.
  • No error recovery exists for the sessions.
  • The user's application program must restart any failed session.
  • The user's application program only receives data over the sessions; it might never send data.
  • The ISTPDCLU application program sends data to the user's application program.
  • No responses are requested from the primary logical unit.
  • The session uses function management profile 2 and transmission profile 3.
The session parameter contained in the BIND must specify the following:
  • No brackets and no chaining of RUs are permitted.
  • Inbound data to the user's application program is paced.
  • No responses are requested from the primary session end.
  • The secondary session end runs in delayed request mode.
  • Normal flow is specified.
  • No compression is allowed.
  • Data flow control RUs are not allowed.
  • There are no function management headers.
  • The SEND/RECEIVE mode is full-duplex.
  • The LU type is 0.
  • Cryptography is not supported for the session.
  • Negotiable BIND is not supported.

When the trace data session is bound, the BIND user data area must contain the EBCDIC characters TRACE. When the session-awareness data session is bound, the BIND must contain the EBCDIC characters SESSA. The ISTPDCLU application program's SCIP exit routine ensures a session limit of two and rejects any BIND requests after the limit is exceeded.
