An LTERM pool can be used by any partner application on a specific computer to establish a connection to the UTM application, if the partner application is of the appropriate type (PTYPE). If PRONAM=*ANY is generated in the TPOOL statement, then partner applications of the generated type can connect to the UTM application from any computer.
If you specify the mapped_name of a SUBNET statement for PRONAM, clients from any computers from this subnet can sign on, provided they correspond to the type specified in PTYE=.
The TPOOL statement does not specify a name (station name) for this communication partner. The UTM application determines this name from the transport address of the partner application that the partner application has supplied when the connection is established.
The following procedure is used:
If a partner application is communicating with the UTM application, an attempt is made to find out the computer name using the local Name Service.
If no name can be located for the computer the network process assigns it the name *ANY.
Then an attempt is made to obtain the T-selector from the transport address. If a T-selector is found then it is used as the station name.
If no T-selector can be found, then the station name 'NETnnnnn' is used for the partner application. nnnnn stands for a number between 00000 and 99999 and is automatically incremented by openUTM.
It often makes sense to communicate with LTERM pools via TCP/IP connections, if LTERM pool is generated with processor names (TPOOL ...,PRONAM=).
Unix, Linux and Windows systems
Please note the maximum number of connections that can be established at a time via one transport system end point. For details see BCAMAPPL statement in section "BCAMAPPL - define additional application names".
