The list of communication end points can be specified directly in the client program or passed to the side information file (upicfile).
How to transfer a list of communication end points using the upicfile is described in detail in section “Side information for list of partner applications”.
Setting up a list in the client program
To specify the list in the client program:
Select the first communication end point in the list using the call Set_Partner_Index (CMSPIN) with index 1. For details, see section “Set_Partner_Index - Setting the partner application index”.
Use subsequent Set_Partner_xxx calls to assign the appropriate addressing information to this communication end point.
For the next communication end point, repeat steps 1 and 2 with the index 2.
Repeat steps 1 and 2, incrementing the index, until the list is complete.
Note
As long as no Allocate call has been executed yet, you can change the values of individual communication end points at any time.
Once entries have been created, they cannot be deleted within a conversation.
When a conversation is terminated, the list is automatically deleted and can be set up again after an Initialize_Conversation call.
