Attached controller (CTL)

Specifies the name of the controller description to which this device is attached.

Note: To use this device for communicating with a remote location that resides on the same system as the local location, specify a controller description that was created with LINKTYPE (*LOCAL) specified.

Application type (APPTYPE)

Specifies the application type used by this device.

*OTHER

This device communicates with either HCP, if 01 is specified for the Local location address (LOCADR) parameter, or an application on the controller. *OTHER should always be specified when 01 is specified for the LOCADR parameter. For a 4684 controller, this parameter should not be specified if the LOCADR parameter is any value other than 01.

*RCMS

This device communicates with the remote change management server (RCMS). *RCMS should only be specified for a 4680 or a 4684 controller. For a 4684 controller, *RCMS should be specified if the LOCADR parameter is any value other than 01.

*SBMRTLPGM

This device is used with the Submit Retail Program (SBMRTLPGM) command to start a program on the retail controller using the ADCS SUP (Start User Program) support. This value is valid only when the Retail Point-of-Sale Communications Facility Licensed Program is being used on the controller. *SBMRTLPGM should not be specified for a 4684 controller.

Device class (DEVCLS)

Specifies the device class for this device.

*NONE

This device description does not use SNA pass-through support.

*SNPT

This device description is for a device station connected to an SNA pass-through advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) controller. SNA pass-through support allows the user to connect this device station with host logical unit (LU) types 0 through 3 applications.

Activation timer (ACTTMR)

Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the device to respond to the activation request from the host IBM i. If the device does not respond within this time, it is considered not available.

Note: This parameter is valid only on switched lines and when *SNPT is specified for the DEVCLS parameter.

This parameter is valid only when *SNPT is specified for the DEVCLS parameter.

170

Specifies the activate time of 170 seconds.

activate-time

Specify a number ranging from 1 through 2550 indicating the number of seconds before the device is considered not available.

Inactivity timer (INACTTMR)

Specifies, for devices connected using SNA pass-through support, a timeout value that measures the amount of time that the device is not bound to a host application. When the timeout value is exceeded, the session is ended.

valid values range from 1 through 30 minutes.

*NOMAX

No maximum inactivity time is tracked (no inactivity timer is to be enforced).

*SEC15

A 15-second time-out period is used.

*SEC30

A 30-second time-out period is used.

inactivity-timer

Specifies a time-out value in minutes.

SNA pass-through device desc (SNPTDEV)

Specifies the name of the associated SNA pass-through device that is attached to a host or advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) controller.

*NONE

No name is specified.

associated-device-name

Specify the name of a device that is attached to a host or an APPC controller that is associated with this device.

SNA pass-through group name (SNPTGRP)

Specifies the name configured for a group of host devices in a configuration list (see CRTCFGL command). This indicates that this device is associated with any one of the devices in that group which is available.

*NONE

No name is specified.

group-name

Specify the name configured for a group of host devices that must be associated with this device.

Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.

*CHANGE: The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.

*ALL: The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management (*AUTLMGT) authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object. The user also can change ownership of the object.

*USE: The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.

*EXCLUDE: The user cannot access the object.

*LIBCRTAUT: The system determines the authority for the object by using the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter on the Create Library (CRTLIB) command for the library containing the object to be created. If the value specified for the CRTAUT parameter is changed, the new value will not affect any existing objects.

name: Specify the name of an authorization list to be used for authority to the object. Users included in the authorization list are granted authority to the object as specified in the list. The authorization list must exist when the object is created.

Examples

CRTDEVRTL   DEVD(RTL1)   LOCADR(05)
            RMTLOCNAME(DETROIT)  CTL(CTL4)

This command creates a retail device description named RTL1. The location address of the retail device is X'05'. The remote-location name is Detroit, and the device is attached to the retail controller CTL4.
