4.1.2.6.6 BEASNA File: Partner Definition

The sample CICS/ESA client MIRRDTPC contains CPI-C verbs. The partner resource definition contains the CPI-C side information needed to allocate a conversation with the ATMI server and information about the remote LU and transaction program.

As shown in the following listing, the TPNAME parameter identifies the transaction program that is invoked in the remote system. In this case, the name correlates to the RNAME value in the DM_LOCAL_SERVICES section of the DMCONFIG file. The RNAME there must match the TPNAME in the partner definition. (Notice in the sample DMCONFIG file that a local service definition MIRROR exists. The RNAME in that definition matches the TPNAME in the sample partner definition.)

The profile resource definition can define conversation attributes, in particular MODENAME. In the sample, the PROFILE parameter can be replaced with a valid profile resource definition. The default profile name for the parameter is DFHCICSA. DFHCICSA is a CICS-delivered profile.

Use the NETNAME specified in the Connection definition of the remote LU to replace **NETWORK NAME**.
