Managing SNAplus2 Clients

Overview

 

Overview

 

A domain for SNAplus2 can include both servers (SNA nodes) and clients

 

(which can access SNA connectivity through a server). Clients can be

 

computers running the HP-UX operating system or the Windows 3.1,

 

Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, or Windows NT operating

 

systems.

 

Servers and clients communicate across the SNAplus2 domain using

 

TCP/IP. A client can access one or more servers at the same time, and

 

can run concurrent applications as needed. For information about the

 

networking requirements for a client/server configuration, see “Client

 

Networking Requirements”.

 

Some commands can be issued from SNAplus2 clients, provided the

 

command includes the -noption to specify a server name. Such a

 

command has the same effect as if it were issued at the named server.

For Windows

There are two versions of the Windows client:

 

• The 32-bit Win32 client can be run on Windows NT (Version 3.51 or

 

later) and Windows 95.

 

• The 16-bit Win16 client can be run on Windows 3.1 and Windows for

 

Workgroups 3.11.

 

For Windows clients, you must supply information that SNAplus2 can

 

use to enable the client software. If you plan to have invokable TPs on

 

the Windows client, you must also supply information about the TPs. For

 

information about these functions, and for instructions on enabling and

 

disabling the SNAplus2 software on a Windows client, see “Overview” or

 

“Managing Win16 Clients”.

For UNIX

For HP-UX clients, you must supply information about the SNAplus2

 

network and servers. For information about this function, and for

 

instructions on enabling and disabling the SNAplus2 software on HP-UX

 

clients, see “Managing HP-UX Clients”.
