Introduction to SNAplus2

SNAplus2 Administration

•Querying the configuration of defined resources and their current status if they are active

•Deleting resources

The Motif administration program can be used to manage both node resources (for any server on the LAN, as long as the SNAplus2 software is running on that server) and domain resources. For each type of communications (such as 3270 or APPC), the program guides you in setting up the configuration of the required resources.

The windows and dialogs in the Motif administration program may differ from those shown in this guide, depending on the functions included with your installation of SNAplus2 and the choices you make on a particular dialog.

The Motif administration program includes help screens that provide overview information for SNA and SNAplus2, reference information for SNAplus2 dialogs, and guidance for performing specific tasks.

Before starting the Motif administration program, make sure the SNAplus2 software is enabled. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Administering SNAplus2.”

To start the Motif administration program in the background, issue the following command:

xsnapadmin &

All started SNAplus2 servers are shown on the main screen. For those that have already been configured, the program enables you to select a node, and then displays the selected node's configuration. Otherwise, the program prompts you to select a node and leads you through the required steps to define it.

For more information about how to use the Motif administration program to define and manage SNAplus2 resources, see “Invoking the Motif Administration Program”, or refer to the help screens provided by the program.

The Motif administration program enables you to set up all required parameters for standard SNAplus2 configurations. For advanced parameters, the Motif administration program supplies default values. You need to supply only the essential configuration information, which enables you to set up SNA communications quickly and easily.
