ALLOCATE

  • Cikk

The ALLOCATE verb is issued by the invoking transaction program (TP). It allocates a session between the local logical unit (LU) and partner LU and (in conjunction with RECEIVE_ALLOCATE) establishes a conversation between the invoking TP and the invoked TP. After this verb executes successfully, APPC generates a conversation identifier (conv_id). The conv_id is a required parameter for all other APPC conversation verbs.

The following structure describes the verb control block used by the ALLOCATE verb.

Members

opcode
Supplied parameter. Specifies the verb operation code, AP_B_ALLOCATE.

opext
Supplied parameter. Specifies the verb operation extension, AP_BASIC_CONVERSATION. If the AP_EXTD_VCB bit is set, this indicates that an extended version of the verb control block is used. In this case, the ALLOCATE structure includes Sync Point support or privileged proxy feature support.

reserv2
A reserved field.

primary_rc
Returned parameter. Specifies the primary return code set by APPC at the completion of the verb. The valid return codes vary depending on the APPC verb issued. See Return Codes for valid error codes for this verb.

secondary_rc
Returned parameter. Specifies the secondary return code set by APPC at the completion of the verb. The valid return codes vary depending on the APPC verb issued. See Return Codes for valid error codes for this verb.

tp_id
Supplied parameter. Identifies the local TP. The value of this parameter was returned by TP_STARTED.

conv_id
Returned parameter. Identifies the conversation established between the two TPs.

conv_type
Supplied parameter. Used only by ALLOCATE to specify the type of conversation to allocate and is either AP_BASIC_CONVERSATION or AP_MAPPED_CONVERSATION.

If ALLOCATE establishes a mapped conversation, the local TP must issue basic-conversation verbs and provide its own mapping layer to convert data records to logical records and logical records to data records. The partner TP can issue basic-conversation verbs and provide the mapping layer, or it can use mapped-conversation verbs (if the partner TP is using an implementation of APPC that supports mapped-conversation verbs). For more information, see your IBM SNA manual(s).

synclevel
Supplied parameter. Specifies the synchronization level of the conversation. It determines whether the TPs can request confirmation of receipt of data and confirm receipt of data.

  • AP_NONE specifies that confirmation processing will not be used in this conversation.

  • AP_CONFIRM_SYNC_LEVEL specifies that the TPs can use confirmation processing in this conversation.

  • AP_SYNCPT specifies that TPs can use Sync Point Level 2 confirmation processing in this conversation.

    reserv3
    A reserved field.

    rtn_ctl
    Supplied parameter. Specifies when the local LU, acting on a session request from the local TP, should return control to the local TP. For information about sessions, see About Transaction Programs.

  • AP_IMMEDIATE specifies that the LU allocates a contention-winner session, if one is immediately available, and returns control to the TP.

  • AP_WHEN_SESSION_ALLOCATED specifies that the LU does not return control to the TP until it allocates a session or encounters one of the errors documented in Return Codes in this topic. (If the session limit is zero, the LU returns control immediately.) If a session is not available, the TP waits for one.

  • AP_WHEN_SESSION_FREE specifies that the LU allocates a contention-winner or contention-loser session, if one is available or able to be activated, and returns control to the TP. If an error occurs, (as documented in Return Codes in this topic) the call will return immediately with the error in the primary_rc and secondary_rc fields.

  • AP_WHEN_CONWINNER_ALLOCATED specifies that the LU does not return control until it allocates a contention-winner session or encounters one of the errors documented in Return Codes in this topic. (If the session limit is zero, the LU returns control immediately.) If a session is not available, the TP waits for one.

  • AP_WHEN_CONV_GROUP_ALLOCATED specifies that the LU does not return control to the TP until it allocates the session specified by conv_group_idor encounters one of the errors documented in Return Codes in this topic. If a session is not available, the TP waits for it to become free.

Note

AP_IMMEDIATE is the only value for rtn_ctl that never causes a new session to start. For values other than AP_IMMEDIATE, if an appropriate session is not immediately available, Host Integration Server tries to start one. This causes the on-demand connection to be activated.

reserv4
A reserved field.

conv_group_id
Supplied/returned parameter. Specifies the identifier of the conversation group from which the session should be allocated. The conv_group_id is required only if rtn_ctlis set to WHEN_CONV_GROUP_ALLOC. Whenrtn_ctl specifies a different value and the primary_rc is AP_OK, this is a returned value.

sense_data
Returned parameter. Indicates an allocation error (retry or no-retry) and contains sense data.

plu_alias
Supplied parameter. Specifies the alias by which the partner LU is known to the local TP.

The plu_alias must match the name of a partner LU established during configuration.

The parameter is an 8-byte ASCII character string. It can consist of the following ASCII characters:

  • Uppercase letters

  • Numerals 0 through 9

  • Spaces

  • Special characters $, #, %, and @

    The first character of this string cannot be a space.

    If the value of this parameter is fewer than eight bytes, pad it on the right with ASCII spaces (0x20).

    If you want to specify the partner LU with the fqplu_name parameter, fill this parameter with binary zeros.

    For a user or group using TPs, 5250 emulators, and/or APPC applications, the system administrator can assign default local and remote LUs. In this case, the field is left blank or null and the default LUs are accessed when the user or group member starts an APPC program. For more information on default LUs, see Microsoft Host Integration Server Help.

    mode_name
    Supplied parameter. Specifies the name of a set of networking characteristics defined during configuration.

    The value of mode_name must match the name of a mode associated with the partner LU during configuration.

    The parameter is an 8-byte EBCDIC character string. It can consist of characters from the type A EBCDIC character set:

  • Uppercase letters

  • Numerals 0 through 9

  • Special characters $, #, and @

    The first character in the string must be an uppercase letter or a special character.

    Do not use SNASVCMG in a mapped conversation. SNASVCMG is a reserved mode_name used internally by APPC. Using this name in a basic conversation is not recommended.

    tp_name
    Supplied parameter. Specifies the name of the invoked TP. The value of tp_name specified by ALLOCATE in the invoking TP must match the value of tp_name specified by RECEIVE_ALLOCATE in the invoked TP.

    The parameter is a 64-byte EBCDIC character string and is case-sensitive. The tp_name parameter can consist of the following EBCDIC characters:

  • Uppercase and lowercase letters

  • Numerals 0 through 9

  • Special characters $, #, @, and period (.)

    If tp_name is fewer than 64 bytes, use EBCDIC spaces (0x40) to pad it on the right.

    The SNA convention is that a service TP name can have up to four characters. The first character is a hexadecimal byte between 0x00 and 0x3F. The other characters are from the type AE EBCDIC character set.

    security
    Supplied parameter. Provides the information that the partner LU requires to validate access to the invoked TP.

    Based on the conversation security established for the invoked TP during configuration, use one of the following values:

  • AP_NONE for an invoked TP that uses no conversation security.

  • AP_PGM for an invoked TP that uses conversation security and thus requires a user identifier and password. Supply this information through the user_id and pwd parameters.

  • AP_PROXY_PGM for an invoked TP with privileged proxy that uses conversation security and thus requires a user identifier and password. Pointers must be set up for proxy_user and proxy_domain to point to Unicode strings containing the user name and domain name of the user to be impersonated. The application does not need to set the user_id and pwd fields.

  • AP_PROXY_SAME for a TP that has been invoked using privileged proxy with a valid user identifier and password supplied by the proxy, which in turn invokes another TP. Pointers must be set up for proxy_user and proxy_domain to point to Unicode strings containing the user name and domain name of the user to be impersonated. The application does not need to set the user_id and pwd fields.

    For example, assume that TP A invokes TP B with a valid user identifier and password supplied by the privileged proxy, and TP B in turn invokes TP C. If TP B specifies the value AP_PROXY_SAME, APPC will send the LU for TP C the user identifier from TP A and an already-verified indicator. This indicator tells TP C to not require the password (if TP C is configured to accept an already-verified indicator).

  • AP_PROXY_STRONG for an invoked TP with privileged proxy that uses conversation security and thus requires a user identifier and password provided by the privileged proxy mechanism. Pointers must be set up for proxy_user and proxy_domain to point to Unicode strings containing the user name and domain name of the user to be impersonated. The application does not need to set the user_id and pwd fields. AP_PROXY_STRONG differs from AP_PROXY_PGM in that AP_PROXY_STRONG does not allow clear-text passwords. If the remote system does not support encrypted passwords (strong conversation security), then this call fails.

  • AP_SAME for a TP that has been invoked with a valid user identifier and password, which in turn invokes another TP.

    For example, assume that TP A invokes TP B with a valid user identifier and password, and TP B in turn invokes TP C. If TP B specifies the value AP_SAME, APPC will send the LU for TP C the user identifier from TP A and an already-verified indicator. This indicator tells TP C to not require the password (if TP C is configured to accept an already-verified indicator).

    When AP_SAME is used in an ALLOCATE verb, your application must always provide values for the user_id and pwd parameters in the verb control block. Depending on the properties negotiated between the SNA server and the peer LU, the ALLOCATE verb will send one of three kinds of Attach (FMH-5) messages, in this order of precedence:

  1. If the LUs have negotiated "already verified" security, then the Attach sent by the SNA server will not include the contents of the pwd parameter field specified in the VCB.

  2. If the LUs have negotiated "persistent verification" security, then the Attach sent by the SNA server will include the pwd parameter specified in the VCB, but only when the Attach is the first for the specified user_id parameter since the start of the LU-LU session, and will omit the pwd parameter on all subsequent Attaches (issued by your application or any other application using this LU-LU-mode triplet).

  3. If the LUs have not negotiated either of the above, then the Attach sent by the SNA server will omit both the user_id and pwd parameters on all Attaches.

    Your application cannot tell which mode of security has been negotiated between the LUs, nor can it tell whether the ALLOCATE verb it is issuing is the first for that LU-LU-mode triplet. So your application must always set the user_id and pwd parameter fields in the VCB when security is set to AP_SAME.

    For more information on persistent verification and already verified security, see the SNA Formats Guide, section "FM Header 5: Attach (LU 6.2)".

  • AP_STRONG for an invoked TP that uses conversation security and thus requires a user identifier and password. Supply this information through the user_id and pwd parameters. AP_STRONG differs from AP_PGM in that AP_STRONG does not allow clear-text passwords. If the remote system does not support encrypted passwords (strong conversation security), then this call fails.

    If the APPC automatic logon feature is to be used, security must be set to AP_PGM. See the Remarks section for details.

    reserv5
    A reserved field.

    pwd
    Supplied parameter. Specifies the password associated with user_id.

    The pwd parameter is required only if security is set to AP_PGM or AP_SAME. It must match the password for user_id that was established during configuration.

    The pwd parameter is a 10-byte EBCDIC character string and is case-sensitive. It can consist of the following EBCDIC characters:

  • Uppercase and lowercase letters

  • Numerals 0 through 9

  • Special characters $, #, @, and period (.)

    If the password is fewer than 10 bytes, use EBCDIC spaces (0x40) to pad it on the right.

    If the APPC automatic logon feature is to be used, the pwd character string must be hard-coded to MS$SAME. See the Remarks section for details.

    user_id
    Supplied parameter. Specifies the user identifier required to access the partner TP. It is required only if the security parameter is set to AP_PGM or AP_SAME.

    The user_id parameter is a 10-byte EBCDIC character string and is case-sensitive. It must match one of the user identifiers configured for the partner TP.

    The parameter can consist of the following EBCDIC characters:

  • Uppercase and lowercase letters

  • Numerals 0 through 9

  • Special characters $, #, @, and period (.)

    If user_id is fewer than 10 bytes, use EBCDIC spaces (0x40) to pad it on the right.

    If the APPC automatic logon feature is to be used, the user_id character string must be hard-coded to MS$SAME. See the Remarks section for details.

    pip_dlen
    Supplied parameter. Specifies the length of the program initialization parameters (PIP) to be passed to the partner TP. The range is from 0 through 32767.

    pip_dptr
    Supplied parameter. Specifies the address of the buffer containing PIP data. Use this parameter only if pip_dlen is greater than zero.

    PIP data can consist of initialization parameters or environmental setup information required by a partner TP or remote operating system. The PIP data must follow the general data stream (GDS) format. For more information, see SNA LU6.2 Reference: Peer Protocols published by IBM.

    For Windows, the data buffer can reside in a static data area or in a globally allocated area. The data buffer must fit entirely within this area.

    reserv7
    A reserved field.

    fqplu_name
    Supplied parameter. Specifies the fully qualified name of the partner LU. This must match the fully qualified name of the local LU defined in the remote node. The parameter consists of two type A EBCDIC character strings for the NETID and the LU name of the partner LU. The names are separated by an EBCDIC period (.).

    This name must be provided if no plu_alias is specified. It can consist of the following EBCDIC characters:

  • Uppercase letters

  • Numerals 0 through 9

  • Special characters $, #, and @

    If the value of this parameter is fewer than 17 bytes, pad it on the right with EBCDIC spaces (0x40).

    reserv8
    A reserved field.

    proxy_user
    Supplied parameter. Specifies a LPWSTR pointing to a Unicode string containing the user name to be impersonated using the privileged proxy feature. This field can only be used when the AP_EXTD_VCB bit is set on the opext field, indicating an extended VCB.

    proxy_domain
    Supplied parameter. Specifies a LPWSTR pointing to a Unicode string containing the domain name of the user to be impersonated using the privileged proxy feature. This field can only be used when the AP_EXTD_VCB bit is set on the opext field, indicating an extended VCB.

    reserv9
    A reserved field.

Return Codes

AP_OK
Primary return code; the verb executed successfully.

AP_UNSUCCESSFUL
Primary return code; the supplied parameter rtn_ctl specified immediate (AP_IMMEDIATE) return of control to the TP, and the local LU did not have an available contention-winner session.

AP_PARAMETER_CHECK
Primary return code; the verb did not execute because of a parameter error.

AP_BAD_RETURN_CONTROL

Secondary return code; the value specified for rtn_ctl was invalid.

AP_BAD_SECURITY

Secondary return code; the value specified for security was invalid.

AP_BAD_SYNC_LEVEL

Secondary return code; the value specified for sync_level was invalid.

AP_BAD_TP_ID

Secondary return code; the value specified for tp_id was invalid.

AP_PIP_LEN_INCORRECT

Secondary return code; the value of pip_dlen was greater than 32767.

AP_UNKNOWN_PARTNER_MODE

Secondary return code; the value specified for mode_name was invalid.

AP_BAD_PARTNER_LU_ALIAS

Secondary return code; APPC did not recognize the supplied partner_lu_alias.

AP_BAD_CONV_TYPE (for a basic conversation)

Secondary return code; the value specified for conv_type was invalid.

AP_NO_USE_OF_SNASVCMG (for a mapped conversation)

Secondary return code; SNASVCMG is not a valid value for mode_name.

AP_INVALID_DATA_SEGMENT

Secondary return code; the PIP data was longer than the allocated data segment, or the address of the PIP data buffer was wrong.

AP_ALLOCATION_ERROR
Primary return code; APPC has failed to allocate a conversation. The conversation state is set to RESET.

This code can be returned through a verb issued after ALLOCATE.

AP_ALLOCATION_FAILURE_NO_RETRY

Secondary return code; the conversation cannot be allocated because of a permanent condition, such as a configuration error or session protocol error. To determine the error, the system administrator should examine the error log file. Do not retry the allocation until the error has been corrected.

AP_ALLOCATION_FAILURE_RETRY

Secondary return code; the conversation could not be allocated because of a temporary condition, such as a link failure. The reason for the failure is logged in the system error log. Retry the allocation.

AP_COMM_SUBSYSTEM_ABENDED
Primary return code; indicates one of the following conditions:

  • The node used by this conversation encountered an ABEND.

  • The connection between the TP and the PU 2.1 node has been broken (a LAN error).

  • The SnaBase at the TP's computer encountered an ABEND.

    The system administrator should examine the error log to determine the reason for the ABEND.

    AP_COMM_SUBSYSTEM_NOT_LOADED
    Primary return code; a required component could not be loaded or terminated while processing the verb. Thus, communication could not take place. Contact the system administrator for corrective action.

    When this return code is used with ALLOCATE, it can indicate that no communications system could be found to support the local LU. (For example, the local LU alias specified with TP_STARTED is incorrect or has not been configured.) Note that if lu_alias or mode_name is fewer than eight characters, you must ensure that these fields are filled with spaces to the right. This error is returned if these parameters are not filled with spaces, since there is no node available that can satisfy the ALLOCATE request.

    When ALLOCATE produces this return code for system configured with multiple nodes using Host Integration Server, there are two secondary return codes as follows:

    0xF0000001

    Secondary return code; no nodes have been started.

    0xF0000002

    Secondary return code; at least one node has been started, but the local LU (when TP_STARTED is issued) is not configured on any active nodes. The problem could be either of the following:

  • The node with the local LU is not started.

  • The local LU is not configured.

    AP_INVALID_VERB_SEGMENT
    Primary return code; the VCB extended beyond the end of the data segment.

    AP_STACK_TOO_SMALL
    Primary return code; the stack size of the application is too small to execute the verb. Increase the stack size of your application.

    AP_CONV_BUSY
    Primary return code; there can only be one outstanding conversation verb at a time on any conversation. This can occur if the local TP has multiple threads, and more than one thread is issuing APPC calls using the same conv_id.

    AP_THREAD_BLOCKING
    Primary return code; the calling thread is already in a blocking call.

    AP_UNEXPECTED_DOS_ERROR
    Primary return code; the operating system has returned an error to APPC while processing an APPC call from the local TP. The operating system return code is returned through the secondary_rc. It appears in Intel byte-swapped order. If the problem persists, consult the system administrator.

Remarks

ALLOCATE can establish either a basic or mapped conversation.

The conversation state is RESET when the TP issues this verb. After successful execution (primary_rc is AP_OK), the state changes to SEND. If the verb does not execute, the state remains unchanged.

Several parameters of ALLOCATE are EBCDIC or ASCII strings. A TP can use the common service verb (CSV) CONVERT to translate a string from one character set to the other.

To send the ALLOCATE request immediately, the invoking TP can issue FLUSH or CONFIRM immediately after ALLOCATE. Otherwise, the ALLOCATE request accumulates with other data in the local LU's send buffer until the buffer is full.

By issuing CONFIRM after ALLOCATE, the invoking TP can immediately determine whether the allocation was successful (if synclevel is set to AP_CONFIRM_SYNC_LEVEL).

Normally, the value of the ALLOCATE verb's mode_name parameter must match the name of a mode configured for the invoked TP's node and associated during configuration with the partner LU.

If one of the modes associated with the partner LU on the invoked TP's node is an implicit mode, the session established between the two LUs will be of the implicit mode when no mode name associated with the partner LU matches the value of mode_name.

Host Integration Server supports a feature called password substitution. This is a security feature supported by the IBM i operating system which encrypts any password that flows between two nodes on an Attach message. A password flows on an Attach whenever someone invokes an APPC transaction program specifying a user identifier and password. For example, this happens whenever anyone logs on to an IBM i.

Support for password substitution is indicated by setting bit 5 in byte 23 of the BIND request to 1 (which indicates that password substitution is supported). If the remote system sets this bit in the BIND response, the SNA server automatically encrypts the LU 6.2 conversation security password included in the FMH-5 Attach message. APPC applications using Host Integration Server automatically take advantage of this feature by setting the security field of the VCB to AP_PGM or AP_STRONG in the ALLOCATE request.

If an APPC application wants to force an encrypted password to flow, the application can specify AP_STRONG for the security field in the VCB in the ALLOCATE request. This option is implemented as defined in IBM i V3R1, and is documented in the IBM i CPI-C programmer reference as CM_SECURITY_PROGRAM_STRONG, where the LU 6.2 pwd (password) field is encrypted before it flows over the physical network.

The password substitution features is currently only supported by IBM i V3R1 or later. If the remote system does not support this feature, the SNA server will UNBIND the session with the sense code of 10060006. The two nodes negotiate whether or not they support this feature in the BIND exchange. Host Integration Server sets a bit in the BIND, and also adds some random data on the BIND for encryption. If the remote node supports password substitution, it sets the same bit in the BIND response, and adds some (different) random data for decryption.

Host Integration Server supports automatic logon for APPC applications. This feature requires specific configuration by the network administrator: The APPC application must be invoked on the LAN side from a client of Host Integration Server. The client must be logged into a Windows domain, but the client can be running on any operating system supported by the Host Integration Server APPC APIs.

The client application is coded to use "program" level security, with a special hard-coded APPC user name MS$SAME and password MS$SAME. When this session allocation flows from client to SNA server, the server looks up the host account and password corresponding to the Windows account under which the client is logged in, and substitutes the host account information into the APPC attach message it sends to the host.

Note

It is illegal for the remote node to set the bit specifying password substitution and not add the random data.

According to IBM, there are implementations of LU 6.2 password substitution that do not support password substitution but do echo the password substitution bit back to Host Integration Server, without specifying any random data. When they do this, the SNA server will UNBIND the session with the sense code 10060006.This sense code is interpreted as:

  • 1006 = Required field or parameter missing.

  • 0006 = A required subfield of a control vector was omitted.

    Host Integration Server should also log an Event 17 (APPC session activation failure: BIND negative response sent).

    The correct solution is for the failing implementation to be fixed. However, as a short-term workaround, the following Host Integration Server service registry setting can be set:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\snaservr\parameters\NOPWDSUB: REG_SZ: YES

    When this parameter is specified in the registry, password substitution support will be disabled.

    Several updates have been made to Host Integration Server to allow a privileged APPC application to open an APPC conversation using the Single Sign-On feature on behalf of any defined Windows user. This is referred to as the privileged proxy feature. An extension has been added to the APPC ALLOCATE verb to invoke this feature.

    An APPC application becomes privileged by being started in a Windows user account that is a member of a special Windows group. When a Host Security Domain is configured, SNA Manager will define a second Windows group for use with the host security features of Host Integration Server. If the user account under which the actual client is running is a member of this second Windows group, the client is privileged to initiate an APPC conversation on behalf of any user account defined in the Host Account Cache.

    The following illustrates how the privileged proxy feature works:

    The Host Integration Server administrator creates a Host Security Domain called APP. SNA Manager now creates two Windows groups. The first group is called APP and the second is called APP_PROXY for this example. Users that are assigned to the APP group are enabled for Single Sign-On. Users assigned to the APP_PROXY group are privileged proxies. The administrator adds the Windows user AppcUser to the APP_PROXY group using the Users button on the Host Security Domain property dialog box in SNA Manager.

    The administrator then sets up an APPC application on the Host Integration Server to run as a Windows service called APPCAPP and that service has been set up to operate under the AppcUser user account. When APPCAPP runs, it opens an APPC session via an ALLOCATE verb using the extended VCB format and specifies the Windows user name of the desired user, UserA (for example).

    The SNA Service sees the session request coming from a connection that is a member of the Host Security Domain APP. The Client/Server interface tells the SNA Service that the actual client is AppcUser.

    The SNA Service checks to see if AppcUser is a member of the APP_PROXY group. Because AppcUser is a member of APP_PROXY, the SNA Service inserts the Username/Password for UserA in the APPC Attach (FMH-5) command and sends it off to the partner TP.

    In order to support the privileged proxy feature, the APPC application must implement the following program logic:

    The APPC application must determine the Windows user ID and domain name that it wishes to impersonate.

    The APPC application must set the following parameters before calling the ALLOCATE verb:

    Enable the use of the extended ALLOCATE verb control block structure by setting the AP_EXTD_VCB flag in the opext field.

    Set security to AP_PROXY_SAME, AP_PROXY_PGM or AP_PROXY_STRONG.

    Set up the pointers for proxy_user and proxy_domain to point to Unicode strings containing the user name and domain name of the user to be impersonated.

Note

The application does not need to set up the user_id and pwd fields in the ALLOCATE VCB.

When the APPC application performs the above steps and issues the ALLOCATE verb, the Host Integration Server server will perform a lookup in the host security domain for the specified Windows user and set the user ID and password fields in the FMH-5 Attach message sent to the remote system.
