LD Definition File

LD Definition File (Client Definition File)

The LD Definition File describes following information:

•	The Server nameand Server machine nameused when starting the Simplified Inter-Application Communication Server.

•	Logical destination name (Client LD name)used in the Client COBOL program.

•	Logical destination name (Server LD name)created in the Simplified Inter-Application Communication Server.

The LD Definition File must exist before the Client COBOL program can run.


Format of LD Definition File

The following gives the format of LD Definition File:

[SERVERNAME_DEF_LIST]Server name List

Server name1=SERVERNAME

Server name2=SERVERNAME

[Server name1]Server machine name for each Server name

@HOSTNM=Server machine name 1

[Server name1.LD]Logical destination List for each Server name

Client LD name A1=Server LD name A1

Client LD name A2=Server LD name A2

[Server name2]

@HOSTNM=Server machine name 2

[Server name2.LD]

Client LD name B1=Server LD name B1

Client LD name B2=Server LD name B2


Selecting the Definition File

To create an LD Definition File:

1	Specify an LD definition file name.If the specified file does not exist,it is created.If the specified file exists,information is added to it.

2	Click the OK button.Clicking the OK button displays the Client Definitiondialog box.


Client Definition Dialog Box

You can define the Server machine name ,Client LD name and Server LD name after you specify Server name in the client definition dialog box.Information (Server machine name,Client LD/Server LD pair)that is already defined is displayed in the edit and list boxes in the client definition dialog box.You can specify a Server machine name corresponding to a server name.You can specify one or more Client LD name and Server LD name pairs for the server name.

Client Definition Dialog Box Information:

•	Server name

Specify the logical name for the server that sends messages to and receives messages from clients.You can define the server name with up to 15 alphanumeric characters.

•	Server machine name

Specify the host machine name where the server runs.You can define the Server machine name with up to 15 alphanumeric characters.

•	Client LD (logical destination)name

Specify the logical destination name for the client.Define the client name with less than eight alphanumeric characters.

•	Server LD name

Specify the server logical destination name to be associated with the client logical destination.Define the logical destination name with less than eight alphanumeric characters.

•	LD list

Client logical destination and server logical desination pairs that are registered for the specified Server name.

Client Definition Dialog Box Actions

•	Server registration

Click the [Set]button to register the Server name and Server machine name after you have specified Server name and Server machine name in the appropriate edit boxes.

•	Associate LD

Click the [Associate LD]button to associate a Client logical destination name with a Server logical destination name.

•	Release LD

Click the [Release LD]button to cancel the association between a Client logical destination name and the corresponding Server logical destination name.

•	Delete server

Click the [Delete]button to delete all the information (Server machine name,Client logical destination names and Server logical destination names)for the selected server.


Server name

Server name is the logical name for the server that sends messages to or receives messages from a client.It is used when the Client COBOL program calls "COBCI_OPEN".


Server machine name

Server machine name is a host name of machine where the Simplified inter-application communication server has been started.It is used to associate the Server name and the host machine name in the LD Definition File.
