8.1 Logical Machine IDs

A logical machine ID (LMID) is a symbolic name used to identify a Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter gateway. LMIDs are defined in the Oracle TMA TCP for IMS configuration file, and appear in selected messages issued by Oracle TMA TCP for IMS.

When used in a message to identify a gateway, the logical machine ID displays as follows:

LMID ( logical-machine-id , type )

logical-machine-id

type

is the type of gateway: L is the local gateway; R is a remote gateway

Note:

The logical machine IDs are defined in the configuration file for Oracle TMA TCP for IMS.

The terms local and remote, as used in this document, are relative to the Oracle TMA TCP for IMS gateway. Local refers to the IMS gateway; remote refers to another Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter gateway with which the IMS gateway is communicating.

The following are examples of LMIDs used in messages issued by Oracle TMA TCP for IMS:

• LMID (OS3901,L) is a local gateway named "OS3901"
• LMID (TUXC9A,R) is a remote gateway named “TUXC9A”
