(Item 008441) PU/LU name forwarding through DLUR Boundary Function ------------------------------------------------------------------ The DLUR BF will usually remove PU and LU names received in ACTPU and ACTLU RUs before forwarding the RUs on to the destination resource. However, a user can indicate to the DLUS that, for a particular PU and its associated LUs, the DLUR should not remove the PU and LU names from the ACTPU and ACTLU RUs when forwarding them. DLURs and DLUSs which support the network name forwarding function will set (to 1) a new indicator (byte 9, bit 3) in the DLUR/S Capabilities (X'51') control vector during CP-SVR pipe activation. When a DLUS which supports this function is about to send an ACTPU for a PU2/2.1 to a DLUR which also supports this function, - the DLUS will check the PU's system definition to see whether the user requested the Network Name (X'0E') control vector to be stripped off by the DLUR or to be passed through - the DLUS will include a PU Capabilities (X'80') ACTPU control vector along with the Network Name control vector in both format 0 and format 1 ACTPU RUs - if the Network Name control vector is to be stripped off, the DLUS will reset (to 0) the new network name forwarding request indicator (byte 2, bit 1) in the PU Capabilities control vector; if the CV is to be passed through, the DLUS will set the indicator. When a DLUS which supports this function is about to send an ACTPU for a PU2/2.1 to a DLUR which does not support this function, - for format 0 ACTPU, the DLUS will only include the Network Name control vector - for format 1 ACTPU, the DLUS will include both the PU Capabilities and Network name control vectors, and it will reset the network name forwarding request indicator in the PU Capabilities control vector When a DLUR which supports this function receives an ACTPU from a DLUS which also supports this function, - it will check the network name forwarding request indicator in the PU Capabilities control vector: * if the indicator is off, the DLUR will remove the Network Name and PU Capabilities control vectors from format 0 ACTPUs and remove the Network Name control vector from format 1 ACTPUs * if the indicator is on, the DLUR will leave the control vectors on the ACTPU - the DLUR will save the network name forwarding request indicator value so that it can be used when processing ACTLUs for the LUs associated with the PU: * if the indicator is off, the DLUR will remove the Network Name control vector from the ACTLU * if the indicator is on, the DLUR will leave the Network Name control vector on the ACTLU When a DLUR which supports this function receives an ACTPU from a DLUS which does not support this function, the DLUR will perform the same processing as a DLUR which does not support this function, i.e., removing the Network Name control vector from ACTPU and ACTLU RUs.
