We are beginning to migrate our network from non-SNA to an SNA
implementation.  I have seen IBM references concerning naming conventions
for SNA resources.  I am not sure how good their suggestions are.
In particular, the naming convention for terminals. In the Publications
I have looked at, they suggest Tssliapt, where "T" is for (remote) terminal,
"ss" is for owning Subarea, "lia" is for the line address in the 37xx,
"p" is for the PU sequence, and "t" is for LU sequence.
For local terminals they recommend Hsscuutt.
In this case they allow 2 bytes for the LU sequence.
Might it be better to drop the H and T from the LUNAME's
thereby allowing 2 bytes for the remote LU sequence?
Since we will be tagging Devices with the LUNAME, I would like to
come up with a decent naming convention that will handle growth
later on.  I would appreciate hearing from people who have an SNA
network and wouldn't mind sharing some of their ideas about resource
naming conventions. Are IBM's from the ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS FUNCTION
PRODUCTS INSTALLATION GUIDE GG24-1557 good ones?  Thanks, Art.
