Using Invoking and Invokable TPs

There are two kinds of TPs: TPs that can invoke (that is, initiate a conversation with) other TPs, and TPs that can be invoked. A TP that can invoke another TP is called an invoking TP, and a TP that can be invoked is called an invokable TP.

The following topics describe how:

• Invoking TPs request invokable TPs.
• Invokable TPs identify themselves to SNA Server in preparation for being invoked.
• An invokable TP is matched to an invoking TP's request.

For information about how to configure LUs to support TPs, see Configuring SNA Server to Support TPs and the Microsoft SNA Server Administration Guide.
