Administering SNAplus2

Overview

Overview

The first step in administering SNAplus2 is configuring the node and its resources. Begin by planning for configuration as described in “Planning for SNAplus2 Configuration”.

Before you can configure SNAplus2, you must enable the SNAplus2 software as described in “Enabling and Disabling SNAplus2 on the Local System”.

When SNAplus2 is enabled, you can run the Motif administration program (see “Using the Motif Administration Program”). The Motif administration program guides you through the configuration needed to support SNA communication using SNAplus2. The Motif administration program is the recommended administration tool, because it minimizes the configuration information you need to provide and guides you through each step you must perform to support different types of communication (such as 3270 or APPC communication). Alternatively, you can use the command-line administration program as described in “Using the Command-Line Administration Program”.

For each administration task, this guide provides information you can use for either Motif or command-line administration. Other configuration methods are discussed in “Administration Tools”.
