To use HPR support, you must install it in your TPF system as well as in
other components in the network. This section discusses only how to
install HPR support in the TPF system. To install HPR support on
another network component, refer to the documentation for that product.
The TPF Migration Guide: Program Update Tapes explains the necessary
steps to install HPR support in the TPF system; for example, what new
records and parameters must be defined. This section explains how to
determine appropriate values for those new parameters. In logical
order, the following are the tasks you need to perform:
- Define the maximum number of HPR LU-LU sessions, which determines the size
of the HPRSAT and becomes the value of the MAXHPRSA parameter on the SNAKEY
macro in CTK2. See Defining the HPRSAT for more information.
- Define the maximum number of RTP connections, which determines the size of
the RTPCB table and becomes the value of the MAXRTPCB parameter on the SNAKEY
macro in CTK2. See Defining the RTPCB Table for more information.
- Define the #RT1RI and #RT2RI fixed file records that are used to keypoint
parts of the RTPCB table. See Defining Fixed File Records for the RTPCB Table for more information.
- Define the size of the HPRMT, which becomes the value of the HPRMTSZ
parameter on the SNAKEY macro in CTK2. See Defining the HPRMT for more information.
- Define the alive timer value, which becomes the value of the HPRALIVE
parameter on the SNAKEY macro in CTK2. See Alive Timer for more information.
- Define the path switch timer value, which becomes the value of the HPRPST
parameter on the SNAKEY macro in CTK2. See Path Switch Timer for more information.
- Decide whether or not to keep RTP connections active across a hardware IPL
of the TPF system, which determines the value of the RTPRSYNC parameter on the
SNAKEY macro in CTK2. See Host IPL Considerations for more information.
- Define the HPR flow control parameters, which are the ILWPE, ILWPF, ILWPI,
and ILWPS parameters on the SNAKEY macro in CTK2. See ARB Pacing for more information.
- Define the size of the read buffers, which becomes the value of the UNITSZ
parameter on the SNAKEY macro in CTK2. See Network Considerations for NLPs for more information.
