Managing SNAplus2 from NetView
Using the Host NetView ProgramUsing the Host NetView Program
The SNAplus2 RCF operates in conjunction with the NetView program at a host computer. The host must be running NetView Version 1 Release 2, or a later version; SNAplus2 does not support NetView Version 1 Release 1.
To use the NetView program, you need the following:
•Login ID and password for the host NetView program (contact your host personnel for this information)
•Service point name for SNAplus2, defined at the host for the NetView program (contact your host personnel for this information)
•DLC, port, and link station to access the host computer on which the NetView program is running
You may want to test the RCF function by using 3270 emulation to access NetView from SNAplus2 instead of accessing it directly from the host. In this case, you also require the following:
•3270 LU configured at the host
•3270 session using this LU
Consult your host administrator to obtain the necessary configuration information.
To access the NetView program, follow these steps:
Step 1. Ensure that the SNAplus2 software is started, using a domain configuration file that includes a definition of RCF access parameters (the define_rcf_access record).
Step 2. If you are accessing the NetView program using 3270 emulation, start the 3270 emulation program and activate the session to the host. (Refer to
Step 3. Follow the instructions given to you by the host administrator for starting NetView and logging on. (The sequence of operations may vary with different versions of NetView.)
Step 4. Issue SPCF or UCF commands as required.
