Provisioning a Solitary Mated Application

This procedure is used to provision a solitary mated application in the database using the ent-map command. A solitary mated application contains only one entry. The ent-map command use these parameters to provision a solitary mated application.

:pc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24 – The point code of the signaling point that is to receive the message.

Note:

The point codes can be either an ANSI point code (pc/pca), ITU-I or ITU-I spare point code (pci), a 14-bit ITU-N or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code (pcn), or a 24-bit ITU-N (pcn24) point code.

Note:

Refer to Chapter 2, Configuring Destination Tables in the Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide for a definition of the point code types that are used on the EAGLE and for a definition of the different formats that can be used for ITU national point codes.

:ssn – Subsystem number – the subsystem address of the point code that is to receive the message. The value for this parameter is 2 to 255.

:grp – The name of the concerned signaling point code (CSPC) group that contains the point codes that should be notified of the subsystem status. This parameter applies to both RPCs/SSNs. The value for this parameter is shown in the rtrv-cspc output. If the desired value is not shown in the rtrv-cspc output, perform the Adding a Concerned Signaling Point Code procedure to add the desired group. If this parameter is not specified, then a CSPC group name is not specified for the mated application.

:sso – Subsystem Status Option – defines whether the subsystem status option is on or off. This parameter allows the user the option to have the specified subsystem marked as prohibited even though an MTP-RESUME message has been received by the indicating that the specified point code is allowed. The sso parameter cannot be specified if the pc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24 value is the EAGLE’s true point code, shown in the rtrv-sid output. The value for this parameter is on or off. The default value is off.

:mapset – The MAP set ID that the mated applications are assigned to. This parameter can be specified only if the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled. This parameter must be specified if the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled. If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, the point code and subsystem specified for the global title translation must be assigned to the MAP set specified by this parameter. The status of the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output. To enable the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature, perform the Activating the Flexible GTT Load Sharing Feature procedure.

The mapset parameter has three values.

  • dflt – to assign the MAP to the default MAP set.
  • new – to assign the mated application to a new MAP set.
  • The specific number of an existing MAP set if you are assigning the mated application to an existing MAP set. This value can be specified only with the chg-map command.

Refer to the Provisioning a MAP Set section for information on provisioning MAP sets.

:mrnset – The MRN set ID that is being assigned to the mated application. This is the MRN set from which alternate routing indicator searches are performed.

:mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 – The point code assigned to the mrnset that is being assigned to the MAP set.

The current values of the mrnset and :mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 parameters are shown in the rtrv-map output only if the Flexible GTT Load Sharing and the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator features are enabled.

The new values for the mrnset and mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 parameters must be shown in the rtrv-mrn output.

The network type of the pc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24 and mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 parameter values must be compatible, as shown in Table 2-38.

Table 2-38 MAP and MRN Point Code Parameter Combinations

MAP Point Code Parameter MRN Point Code Parameter
pc/pca mrnpc/mrnpca
pci or pcn (See Notes 1 and 2) mrnpci or mrnpcn (See Notes 1 and 2)
pcn24 mrnpcn24

Note:

  1. 1. If the network type of the MAP point code parameter is ITU-I (pci), the network type of the MRN point code parameter can be either ITU-I (mappci) or ITU-N (mappcn).
  2. 2. If the network type of the MAP point code parameter is ITU-N (pcn), the network type of the MRN point code parameter can be either ITU-I (mappci) or ITU-N (mappcn).

:mrc – Message routing under congestion – specifies whether Class 0 messages are routed during congestion conditions. The values for this parameter are yes and no. This parameter can be specified for any type of mated application, but this parameter affects only the traffic for a dominant mated application. The default value for ANSI, ITU-I, and ITU-N solitary mated applications is yes. The default value for ITU-N24 solitary mated applications is no.

:srm – Subsystem routing messages – defines whether subsystem routing messages (SBR, SNR) are transmitted between the mated applications. The values for this parameter are yes and no. The srm=yes parameter can be specified only for ANSI mated applications. This parameter affects traffic only on dominant and combined dominant/load shared mated applications. The default value for ANSI solitary mated applications is yes. The default value for ITU solitary mated applications is no.

The ent-map command also contains other parameters that can be used to provision mated applications, but cannot be used to provision a solitary mated applications. These parameters are: mpc/mpca/mpci/mpcn/mpcn24, mssn, rc, materc. If you wish to use these parameters to provision mated applications, perform one of these procedures.

The rc parameter can be specified for a solitary mated application, but since a solitary mated application contains only one entry, the rc parameter does not need to be specified. If the rc parameter is not specified, the rc value is set to 10.

If the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, shown by the columns WT, %WT, and THR in the rtrv-map output, the parameters wt, mwt, and thr cannot be specified for a solitary mated application. If you wish to use these parameters to provision a mated application, perform one of these procedures:

If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is not enabled, the point code and subsystem number combination can be in the database only once. If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, the point code and subsystem number combination can be in multiple MAP sets, but can be in the default MAP set only once. Refer to the Provisioning a MAP Set section for information on provisioning MAP sets.

The point codes specified in the ent-map command (pc/pca, pci, pcn, or pcn24) must be either a full point code in the routing point code table or the EAGLE’s true point code. Cluster point codes or network routing point codes cannot be specified with this command. The rtrv-rte command can be used to verify the point codes in the routing table. The point codes in the routing table are shown in the DPCA, DPCI, DPCN, or DPCN24 fields of the rtrv-rte command output. The EAGLE’s true point code is shown in the PCA, PCI, PCN, or PCN24 fields of the rtrv-sid command output.

A solitary mated application can be provisioned with a point code that is assigned to other mated applications as long as the SSN is not assigned to other mated applications. A point code can be assigned to maximum of 12 different SSNs.

If the EAGLE’s true point code is specified in the mated application and the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, the mated application containing the EAGLE’s true point code can be assigned only to the default MAP set.

A mated application containing the LNP subsystem can contain only the EAGLE's ANSI true point code. The LNP feature must be enabled for a quantity greater than zero.

A mated application containing the INP subsystem can contain only the EAGLE’s true14-bit ITU-N point code, 14-bit ITU-N spare point code, or 24-bit ITU-N point code. The INP or ANSI-41 INP Query feature must be enabled and turned on. The EAGLE can contain either 14-bit ITU-N point codes (spare or non-spare point codes) or 24-bit ITU-N point codes. Both types of point codes cannot be present on the EAGLE at the same time.

A mated application containing the EIR subsystem can contain only the EAGLE’s true ITU-I point code, ITU-I spare point code, 14-bit ITU-N point code, 14-bit ITU-N spare point code, or 24-bit ITU-N point code. The EIR feature must be enabled and turned on. The EAGLE can contain either 14-bit ITU-N point codes (spare or non-spare point codes) or 24-bit ITU-N point codes. Both types of point codes cannot be present on the EAGLE at the same time.

A mated application containing the VFLEX subsystem can contain any of the EAGLE’s true point codes. The V-Flex feature must be enabled and turned on. The EAGLE can contain either 14-bit ITU-N point codes (spare or non-spare point codes) or 24-bit ITU-N point codes. Both types of point codes cannot be present on the EAGLE at the same time.

A mated application containing the ATINPQ subsystem can contain only the EAGLE’s true ANSI point code, ITU-I point code, ITU-I spare point code, 14-bit ITU-N point code, or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code. The ATINP feature must be enabled.

A mated application containing the AIQ subsystem can contain any of the EAGLE’s true point codes. The ANSI41 AIQ feature must be enabled. The EAGLE can contain either 14-bit ITU-N point codes (spare or non-spare point codes) or 24-bit ITU-N point codes. Both types of point codes cannot be present on the EAGLE at the same time.

The EAGLE can contain multiple entries that contain the EAGLE's true point code, shown in the rtrv-sid output. Table 2-39 shows the numbers of entries that can be provisioned based on the type of point code.

Table 2-39 Maximum Number of True Point Code Entries

True Point Code Type Maximum Number of Entries
ANSI

1 - for the LNP subsystem

2 - one entry for the LNP subsystem and one entry for the AIQ subsystem

3 - one entry for the ATINPQ subsystem, one entry for the V-FLEX subsystem, and one entry for the AIQ subsystem

The LNP subsystem cannot be used if the ATINPQ, EIR, INP, and V-FLEX subsystems are used.

ITU-I 4 - one entry for the ATINPQ subsystem, one entry for the EIR subsystem, one entry for the V-FLEX subsystem, and one entry for the AIQ subsystem
ITU-N 5 - one entry for the ATINPQ subsystem, one entry for the EIR subsystem, one entry for the INP subsystem, one entry for the V-FLEX subsystem, and one entry for the AIQ subsystem

The format of the point codes in the CSPC group specified with the grp parameter must be the same as the point code specified with the ent-map command only if the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is not enabled. If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is enabled, the CSPC group may contain a mixture of point code types (refer to the Adding a Concerned Signaling Point Code procedure), and the network type of the CSPC group can be different from the network type of the primary point code of the mated application. The status of the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature can be verified with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

If the grp and sso parameter values are specified, and the specified point code and SSN is assigned to multiple mated applications, the grp and sso values for all mated applications containing the specified point code and SSN will be changed to the values specified in this procedure.

The values of the ssn parameter must be from 2 to 255.

The EAGLE can contain 1024, 2000, or 3000 mated applications. The EAGLE default is 1024 mated applications. This quantity can be increased to 2000 by enabling the feature access key for part number 893-0077-01, or to 3000 by enabling the feature access key for part number 893-0077-10. For more information on enabling these feature access keys, refer to the Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature procedure.

Provisioning a MAP Set

The Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature provides the ability to define multiple load sharing sets in the MAP table where the same point code and subsystem can be assigned to different load sharing sets.

The MAP table contains specific load sharing sets, designated by numbers, and a default MAP set.

Flexible Final GTT Load Sharing provides flexible load sharing for global title translations defined in the GTT table and not for the MPS-based features. The MPS-based features do not support the MAP set ID parameter. The MPS-based features perform lookups for load sharing in the default MAP set and the GTT table. The entries in the GTT table can be linked to a MAP set ID, allowing lookups in a specific MAP set other than the default MAP set.

Any MAP entries that were provisioned in the database before the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled are placed in the default MAP set when the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled.

To provision entries in the default MAP set, the mapset=dflt parameter must be specified with the ent-map command.

To provision entries in a new MAP set, the mapset=new parameter must be specified with the ent-map command. The mapset=new parameter can be specified only with the ent-map command. When the ent-map command is executed with the mapset=new parameter, the new MAP set ID is automatically generated and displayed in the output of the ent-map command as follows.

New MAPSET Created : MAPSETID = <new MAP set ID>

The default MAP set can contain multiple MAP groups. The point code and subsystem number combination can appear only once in the default MAP set. The point code can appear in multiple MAP groups in the default MAP set with different subsystem numbers.

The point code and subsystem number combination provisioned in a MAP set can be provisioned in multiple MAP sets. All the point code and subsystem number combinations in a MAP set must be different.

Canceling the RTRV-MAP Command

Because the rtrv-map command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-map command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-map command can be canceled.

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-map command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-map command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-map command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-map command was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, refer to Commands User's Guide.

  1. Display the mated applications in the database using the rtrv-map command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If any of the following items are not shown in the rtrv-map output, then the feature corresponding to these items is not enabled, or turned on if required.
    • The MAPSET field - the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is not enabled.
    • The MRNSET and MRNPC fields - the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is not enabled.
    • The WT, %WT, THR columns - the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature is not enabled and turned on.
    Continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
    • If the maximum number of mated applications is 3000 and the current number of mated applications provisioned in the database is 3000, no mated applications with a new point code can be added. Continue the procedure with 3.
    • If the rtrv-map output in shows that the maximum number of mated applications is either 1024 or 2000, and the mated application being added increases the number beyond 1024 or 2000, perform the Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature procedure to increase the maximum number of mated applications that can be in the database. After the Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature procedure has been completed, continue the procedure with 3. If the maximum number of mated applications is not increased, no new point codes can be used to provision mated applications.
    • If the rtrv-map output in shows that the maximum number of mated applications is either 1024, 2000, or 3000 and the mated application being added will not increase the number beyond the quantity shown in the rtrv-map output in, continue the procedure with 3.
    • If the maximum number of mated applications is 36,000, continue the procedure with 2.
  2. To verify the number of different point codes that can be provisioned for mated applications, enter the rtrv-tbl-capacity command.

    If the maximum number of mated applications shown in the rtrv-map output in 1 is 36000, the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled.

    Note:

    The rtrv-tbl-capacity command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-tbl-capacity command, see the rtrv-tbl-capacity command description in Commands User's Guide.

    Although the rtrv-map output shows there can be 36000 entries, a maximum of 1024, 2000, or 3000 different point codes (depending on whether the XMAP Table Expansion feature is enabled for 2000 or 3000 mated applications) can be provisioned for mated applications.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
    
    MAP table is (3000 of 3000) 100% full
    Continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
    • If the maximum number of mated applications shown in this step is 3000 and the current number of mated applications provisioned in the database is 3000, no mated applications with a new point code can be added. Continue the procedure with 3.
    • If the maximum number of mated applications is either 1024 or 2000, and the mated application being added increases the number beyond 1024 or 2000, perform the Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature procedure to increase the maximum number of mated applications that can be in the database. After the Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature procedure has been completed, continue the procedure with 3. If the maximum number of mated applications is not increased, no new point codes can be used to provision mated applications.
    • If the maximum number of mated applications is either 1024, 2000, or 3000 and the mated application being added will not increase the number beyond the quantity shown in the rtrv-map output in, continue the procedure with 3.
  3. A mated application can be provisioned with a point code that is assigned to other mated applications as long as the SSN is not assigned to other mated applications. A point code can be assigned to maximum of 12 different SSNs.

    Verify the number of SSNs assigned to the point code that will be specified for the mated application in this procedure by entering the rtrv-map command with the point code of the new mated application. For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-map:pca=255-001-000

    This is an example of the possible output.

                 253-001-004  254 10  SHR *Y  *Y  grp01    OFF

    If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, the MAPSET IDs for the mated applications are shown in the rtrv-map output.

    If the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled and turned, the WT, %WT, and THR columns are shown in the rtrv-map output.

    If the point code is assigned to less than 12 different SSNs, then the existing point code in the rtrv-map output can be used to provision the mated application. Continue the procedure with 4.

    If the point code is assigned to 12 different SSNs, another existing point code in the rtrv-map output or a new point code must be used to provision the mated application. If an existing point code in the rtrv-map output will be used to provision the mated application, repeat this step for that point code. Then continue the procedure with 4.

    If a new point code will be used to provision the mated application, continue the procedure with 4.

    If the point code is assigned to 12 different SSNs, and neither an existing point code in the rtrv-map output nor a new point code will be used to provision the mated application, then this procedure cannot be performed.

    Note:

    If a concerned signaling point code (CSPC) group is not being assigned to the mated application, continue the procedure with 6.
  4. Display the point codes in the CSPC group that you wish to assign to the mated application by first entering the rtrv-cspc command with no parameters.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    Note:

    If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is enabled, then point codes of multiple network types can be displayed in the rtrv-cspc output, if point codes of multiple network types are assigned to the CSPC group.

    If the CSPC group is not in the database, or if the required point code is not assigned to the CSPC group, perform the Adding a Concerned Signaling Point Code procedure to add the required CSPC group or point code to the database.

    Note:

    If the output of the rtrv-cspc command performed in4 shows CSPC groups containing a mixture of point code types, or if the new CSPC group that was added in 4 contains a mixture of point code types, continue the procedure with 6.
  5. The format of the point codes in the CSPC group specified with the grp parameter must be the same as the primary point code specified with the ent-map command only if the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is not enabled.

    If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is enabled, the CSPC group may contain a mixture of point code types (refer to the Adding a Concerned Signaling Point Code procedure), and the network type of the CSPC group can be different from the network type of the primary point code of the mated application.

    Verify the status of the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature by entering this command.

    If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is not enabled, perform the Activating the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion Feature procedure to enable the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature.

  6. If the MAPSET column is shown in the rtrv-map output in 1, the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled. Continue the procedure with 7.

    If the MAPSET column is not shown in 1 and you do not wish to provision MAP sets in this procedure, continue the procedure with 7.

    If the MAPSET column is not shown in 1 and you wish to provision MAP sets in this procedure, perform the Activating the Flexible GTT Load Sharing Feature procedure to enable the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature. After the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, continue the procedure with 7.

    Note:

    If the EAGLE’s point code and subsystem number are being assigned to the mated application, continue the procedure with 11.
  7. Display the destination point codes in the database by entering the rtrv-dstn command. This is an example of the possible output.

    1. The primary point code is an ANSI, ITU-I, ITU-I spare, ITU-N, ITU-N spare, or ITU-N24 from the rtrv-rte or rtrv-map outputs.
    2. The primary point code for the LNP subsystem is the ANSI point code from the rtrv-sid output.
    3. The primary point code for the INP subsystem is the ITU-N, ITU-N spare, or ITU-N24 point code from the rtrv-sid output.
    4. The primary point code for the EIR subsystem is the ITU-I, ITU-I spare, ITU-N, ITU-N spare, or ITU-N24 point code from the rtrv-sid output. Perform this step as necessary to provision an ITU-I and either a 14-bit ITU-N or a 24-bit ITU-N mated application containing the EIR subsystem.
    5. The primary point code for the V-Flex subsystem is the ANSI, ITU-I, ITU-I spare, ITU-N, ITU-N spare, or ITU-N24 point code from the rtrv-sid output. Perform this step as necessary to provision an ANSI, ITU-I, and either a 14-bit ITU-N or a 24-bit ITU-N mated application containing the VFLEX subsystem.
    6. The primary point code for the ATINPQ subsystem is the ANSI, ITU-I, ITU-I spare, ITU-N, or ITU-N spare point code from the rtrv-sid output. Perform this step as necessary to provision an ANSI, ITU-I, and a 14-bit ITU-N mated application containing the ATINPQ subsystem.
    7. The rc parameter can be specified for a solitary mated application, but does not have to be specified. If the rc parameter is not specified, its value will be 10.
    8. The format of the point codes in the CSPC group specified with the grp parameter must be the same as the primary point code specified with the ent-map command only if the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is not enabled. If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is enabled, the CSPC group may contain a mixture of point code types (refer to the Adding a Concerned Signaling Point Code procedure), and the network type of the CSPC group can be different from the network type of the primary point code of the mated application.
    9. If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing is enabled, the mapset parameter must be specified with the ent-map command.

      If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing is not enabled, themapset parameter cannot be specified with theent-map command.

      To provision entries in the default MAP set, themapset=dflt parameter must be specified with theent-map command.

      To provision entries in a new MAP set, themapset=new parameter must be specified with theent-map command. When theent-map command is executed with the mapset=new parameter, the new MAP set ID is automatically generated and displayed in the output of theent-map command as follows.
      New MAPSET Created : MAPSETID = <new MAP set ID>

      The default MAP set can contain multiple MAP groups. Each group in the default MAP set can contain a maximum of 128 point code and subsystem entries.

      The point code and subsystem entry can appear only once in the default MAP set, so the point code and subsystem entry can appear in only one MAP group in the default MAP set.

      The point code and subsystem entry provisioned in a MAP set can be provisioned in multiple MAP sets. If a point code and subsystem entry is provisioned in different MAP sets, the relative cost value of the entry in each MAP set can be different. All the point code and subsystem entries in a MAP set, including the default MAP set, must be different.

      If the EAGLE’s point code and subsystem number is being assigned to the mated application, and if the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, the EAGLE’s point code and subsystem number can be assigned only to the default MAP set using themapset=dflt parameter.

    10. If the point code selected from either the rtrv-rte or rtrv-map outputs is a 14-bit ITU-N point code, then the pcn parameter must be specified. If the point code selected from either the rtrv-rte or rtrv-map outputs is a 24-bit ITU-N point code, then the pcn24 parameters must be specified.
    11. The srm=yes parameter can be specified only for solitary mated applications containing ANSI point codes. The srm parameter affects traffic only on dominant and combined dominant/load shared mated applications. The mrc parameter can be specified for a solitary mated application, but this parameter affects only the traffic for a dominant mated application. These are the default values for the srm and mrc parameters.
      • ANSI mated applications - srm=yes, mrc=yes
      • ITU mated applications - srm=no (for all ITU mated applications), mrc=yes (for ITU-I and ITU-N mated applications), mrc=no (for ITU-N24 mated applications)
    12. If either the mrnset or mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 parameter is specified, then both parameters must be specified. The mrnset and mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 parameters can be specified only if the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is enabled. Refer to the Activating the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator Feature procedure for information about enabling the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature. The mrnset and mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 values must be shown in the rtrv-mrn output.
    13. The network type of the pc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24 and mrnpc/mrnpca/mrnpci/mrnpcn/mrnpcn24 parameter values must be compatible, as shown in Provisioning a Solitary Mated Application.
    14. The primary point code for the AIQ subsystem is the ANSI, ITU-I, ITU-I spare, ITU-N, ITU-N spare, or ITU-N24 point code from the rtrv-sid output. Perform this step as necessary to provision an ANSI, ITU-I, and either a 14-bit ITU-N or a 24-bit ITU-N mated application containing the AIQ subsystem.

    If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is not enabled for this example, enter these commands.

    ent-map:pca=006-006-006:ssn=250:grp=grp15:sso=off:mapset=new

    ent-map:pca=007-007-007:ssn=251:grp=grp05:sso=on:mapset=dflt

    If the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is enabled for this example, enter these commands.

    ent-map:pca=006-006-006:ssn=250:grp=grp15:sso=off:mapset=new :mrnset=1:mrnpc=007-007-007

    If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled when each of these commands have successfully completed, and a new MAP set was created, a message similar to the following should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 07-05-07  11:44:13  GMT  EAGLE5 37.0.0
    New MAPSET Created : MAPSETID = 9
    ENT-MAP:  MASP A - COMPLTD

    If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled when each of these commands have successfully completed, and the mated application was added to the default MAP set, this message should appear.

    Note:

    If the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, shown by the columnsWT,%WT, andTHR in thertrv-map output, the parameterswt,mwt, andthr cannot be specified for a solitary mated application.
  15. Verify the changes using the rtrv-map command with the primary point code and subsystem specified in 14.

    If the mapset=dflt parameter was specified in 14, the mapset=dflt parameter should be specified with the rtrv-map command.

    If a new MAP set was created in 14, the mapset parameter should be specified with the rtrv-map command. The value for the mapset parameter should be the MAP set ID generated in 14. If the mated application was added to an existing MAP set in 14, the mapset parameter and value specified in 14 should be specified with the rtrv-map command.

    If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is not enabled for this example, enter these commands.

    rtrv-map:pca=006-006-006:ssn=250

    This is an example of the possible output.
