This worksheet consists of two parts:

1. Symbols that must be matched with a partner platform (the workstation). The symbols are under the heading NETWORK VALUES.
2. Symbols that are local to CICS. These symbols are under the heading LOCAL VALUES.

Table 3. Values Required to Configure CICS for APPC

Symbol | How to determine the value for this symbol | Fill in your value here
--- | --- | ---
NETWORK VALUES
PARTNERLU | This is the symbol for an associated workstation name. There should be a unique LU name for each participating workstation. This value should be consistent with LUNAME at the workstation. See Table 1 for more information about LUNAME at the workstation. When CPI-C side information is created, a value for PARTNERLU must be supplied within a side information entry for each participating workstation. |
PARTNERNET | This is the symbol for the workstation's network name. We are assuming that CICS and the workstations are in the same network. In this case, the value can be obtained from the VTAM start option (NETID). This value should match NETWORK as defined to CM/2 at each participating workstation. See Table 1 for more information about NETWORK at the workstation. |
TPNAME | This is the symbol for the Remote Debugger transaction program residing at the workstation. It is transmitted across the network from CICS and it initiates a session with the Debug Tool server at the workstation. This value should be consistent with LOCALTP, as defined at all participating workstations. See Table 1 for more information about LOCALTP at the workstation. For Remote Debugger, specify the value COBVSDT. | COBVSDT
MODETABLE | The binary table containing mode names that VTAM searches, usually a member of SYS1.VTAMLIB. Verify that the table defined in VTAM for the CICS LU has the required mode names (#INTER and SNASVCMG) for Remote Debugger. |
MODE | Name of the logon mode table entry that VTAM uses for Remote Debug VTAM sessions. #INTER is recommended. See Figure 21 for a list and description of mode entries that may be used by both MVS/APPC and CICS. | #INTER
LOCAL VALUES
GROUP | A name for the collection of CICS definitions. CICS reserves DFH for its own use, so choose a name like COBOLVS. |
CON | A connection name used as a nickname for the workstation PARTNERLU. Such a definition is required for each PARTNERLU. Several other parameters are tied to the connection name. See Table 1 for more information about PARTNERLU at the workstation. |
SESSION | A name that uniquely identifies a session for each participating workstation and defines the MODE for that session. See "Defining SESSIONS". |
SYMDEST | This is the symbol for a value that represents a CPI-C side information symbolic destination name. Each participating workstation will have a unique SYMDEST value which identifies the workstation, mode, and transaction profile name at session initialization. In CICS, a side information entry is defined by a PARTNER definition. |
PROFILE | A name defining partner characteristics for this group in CPI-C side information. See "Defining Side Information". |
