T_NETGROUP Class Definition

Overview

The T_NETGROUP class represents application attributes of network groups. Network groups are groups of LMIDs which can communicate over the TA_NADDR network addresses defined in the T_NETMAP class.

Attribute Semantics

TA_NETGROUP: string[1..30]

Logical name of the network group. A group name is a string of printable characters and cannot contain a point sign, comma, colon, or newline.

TA_NETGRPNO: 1 <= num <= 8192

Group identifier associated with network group.

TA_STATE:

GET: "{VALid}"

A GET operation will retrieve configuration information for the selected T_NETGROUP object(s). The following states indicate the meaning of a TA_STATE returned in response to a GET request.

VALid

T_NETGROUP object is defined and inactive. Note that this is the only valid state for this class. NETGROUPs are never ACTive.

SET: "{NEW | INValid}"

a SET operation will update configuration information for the selected T_NETGROUP object. The following states indicate the meaning of a TA_STATE set in a SET request. States not listed may not be set.

`NEW`	Create `T_NETGROUP` object for application. State change allowed only when in the `INValid` state. Successful return leaves the object in the `VALid` state.
`unset`	Modify an existing `T_NETGROUP` object. Only allowed in the `VALid` state. Successful return leaves the object state unchanged.
`INValid`	Delete `T_NETGROUP` object from application. State change allowed only when in the `VALid` state and only if there are no objects in the `T_NETMAP` class which have this network group object as a key. Successful return leaves the object in the `INValid` state.

TA_NETPRIO: 1 <= num < 8,192

The priority band for this network group. All network groups of equivalent band priority will be used in parallel. If all network circuits of a certain priority are torn down by the administrator or by network conditions, the next lower priority circuit is used. Retries of the higher priority are attempted.

Note: In BEA Tuxedo release 6.4, parallel data circuits are prioritized by network group number (NETGRPNO) within priority group number. In future releases, a different algorithm may be used to prioritize parallel data circuits.

Limitations

None.
