Request The Association - HP A4500A - VMEbus Single Board Computer 744 Motherboard Programmer's Manual

Process A calls ap_set_env() using the AP_CNTX_NAME attribute to
identify the application context name. Process A then calls ap_set_env()
using the AP_PCDL attribute to propose transfer syntaxes for each
proposed abstract syntax that will be used for data transfer between
Process A and B.

Request the Association

Process ap_snd() uses the A_ASSOC_REQ primitive and includes the
application context name, presentation context definition list (PCDL),
and Process B's presentation address. Process B uses ap_poll() to listen
for the association request. (See Figure 3-6.)
This can be used to limit the time Process B can wait for an association
request.
