APPN Set Management

This option allows you to configure APPN Mangement parameters.

Enter the following parameters:

  1. Collect intermediate session information

    This parameter specifies whether the APPN node should collect data on intermediate sessions passing through this node (session counters and session characteristics). The data is captured in SNMP MIB variables for APPN.

    Valid Values: Yes, No

    Default Value: No

  2. Save RSCV information for intermediate sessions

    This parameter specifies whether the APPN node should save the Route Selection control vector (RSCV) for an intermediate session. The data is captured in an associated SNMP MIB variable for APPN.

    The session RSCV is carried in the BIND request used to activate a session between two LUs. It describes the optimum route through an APPN network for a particular LU-LU session. The session RSCV contains the CP names and TG associated with each pair of adjacent nodes along a route from an origin node to a destination node.

    Valid Values: Yes, No

    Default Value: No

  3. Create intermediate session records

    This parameter enables or disables the creation of data records for intermediate sessions passing through this node. The records contain information about session counters and session characteristics. RSCV information is also included in the data records if the Save RSCV information for intermediate sessions parameter is enabled.

    If this parameter is set to yes, the setting of collect intermediate session information is overridden.

    Valid Values: Yes, No

    Default Value: No

  4. Record creation threshold

    This parameter specifies a byte threshold for creating intermediate session records. When session data exceeds the value in this byte counter by an even multiple, a record is created.

    Valid Values: 0 to 4 294 967, in 1 KB increments

    Default Value: 0

Enter the following APPN ISR Recording Media information:

  1. Memory

    This parameter enables or disables the collection of intermediate session data in the router's local memory.

    Valid Values: Yes, No

    Default Value: No

  2. Maximum memory buffers

    This parameter specifies the number of buffers to be allocated in the router's local memory for storing intermediate session records.

    Valid Values: 0 to 1

    Default Value: 1

  3. Maximum memory records per buffer

    This parameter specifies the maximum number of intermediate session records that may be stored in the memory buffer on the router.

    Valid Values: 0 to 2000

    Default Value: 100

  4. Memory buffers full

    This parameter specifies the action to take when the memory buffer allocated to store intermediate session records becomes full. Select Stop recording to instruct the router to discard any new intermediate session records. Select Wrap to allow new records to overwrite existing records in the buffer. The oldest records in the buffer are overwritten first.

    Valid Values: Stop recording (0), Wrap (1)

    Default Value: Stop recording (0)

  5. Memory record format

    This parameter specifies the format in which intermediate session records are to be stored in the router's local memory.

    Valid Values: ASCII (0), Binary (1)

    Default Value: ASCII (0)

  6. Click to enable or disable Maintain backup copy of topology database.

  7. Time between database updates

    This parameter sets the time in minutes between topology database updates.

    Valid Values: 60 - 1440 minutes

    Default Value: 60
