TS Profiles

Five TS profiles, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 are defined by SNA. However, because TS profile 1 is used only between the SSCP and the PU, only profiles 2, 3, 4, and 7 are applicable to an LUA application. They differ in the SNA commands that can be issued, as shown in Table TS Profile Characteristics.

LUA has two programming interfaces. When you use the request unit interface (RUI), any of the TS profiles can be bound. When you use the session-level interface (SLI), only TS profiles 3 and 4 can be supported—a BIND command requesting profile 2 or 7 is rejected by LUA when the session is opened.
