Introduction to SNAplus2

SNAplus2 Administration

The sna_domn.cfg file contains information about SNAplus2 domain resources (resources not associated with a particular local node). The master copy of this file resides on the master server.

Invokable TP data file

The sna_tps file contains information that SNAplus2 needs to start invokable (target) TPs, and can also provide other information (such as the level of security required to access the TP). This file resides on the computer where the TPs run.

For more information about this file, see “Defining TPs”.

 

You can modify the node and domain configuration using the Motif

 

administration program, the command-line administration program, or

 

the NOF API. All of these tools make the required changes to the node

 

configuration file or domain configuration file as appropriate. Because

 

configuration information is stored as plain text; you can also modify the

 

file directly using a standard ASCII text editor such as vi, or by means

 

of a shell script using HP-UX utilities such as awk or sed. Any changes

 

to configuration files using a text editor must be made before starting

 

SNAplus2. Refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Command

 

Reference for more information about SNAplus2 configuration file

 

format.

 

SNAplus2 configuration is a dynamic process; it is not necessary to

NOTE

 

define the entire configuration before starting the SNAplus2 software.

 

The configuration file provides an initial definition of the available

 

resources, but you can add, delete, or modify resources as necessary

 

while the SNAplus2 software is running. SNAplus2 stores the current

 

definition so that you can use it again when you need to restart the

 

system.

 

The following files contain information about the SNAplus2 client/server

 

 

network:

 

SNA network data file

 

The sna.net file contains information about which

 

server is the master, and which servers can act as

 

backup servers. This binary file resides on the master

 

server. You can modify the contents of this file using

 

the administration programs or the NOF API.
