Error description
Communications Server for AIX and Linux --------------------------------------- NEW FUNCTION: Add option to automatically append the client's IP address to the Local TP Name when an application starts (issues TP_STARTED or CMINIT) for outbound conversations.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: All using the Remote API Client. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: NEW FUNCTION: Add option to automatically append the client's IP address to the Local TP Name when an application starts (issues TP_STARTED or CMINIT) for outbound conversations. PROBLEM SUMMARY: New function described above has been added.
Problem conclusion
To enable this new function, on the Remote API Client system create an empty file named tpnameipv4. For example: "echo > tpnameipv4" - in the installation directory for a Windows client: default C:\ibmcs\w64cli but may be overriden by a custom install. - in the configuration directory for a Unix client: - /etc/sna on AIX - /etc/opt/ibm/sna on Linux The APPC library checks for the presence of the tpnameipv4 file and if present extracts the local IPV4 address when the first TP_STARTED is received for the application. The address is then appended to the local TP name on all TP_STARTED requests (assuming that the 15 characters of the IP address will fit in the 64 byte TP name). The local TP name can then be queried on the server to correlate it to the local LU that is used: - it is present in the log 8193-8 when the TP is started - it is reported on query_tp while the TP is running - it is reported on query_conversation while the conversation is running.
