sna_tps.ini

Win16 client invokable TP data file. This file contains information about invokable TPs (APPC or CPI-C) that can run on the client; it is equivalent to the sna_tps file on a computer running the HP-UX operating system, as described in “Defining TPs”.

For more information about this file, see Appendix C, “Configuring an Invokable TP Using snaptpinstall.”

Enabling a Win16 Client

To enable the SNAplus2 software on a Win16 client, either double-click on the Windows NAP icon, or use the normal Windows “File Run” mechanisms to run wnap.exe. The client then uses the information in the sna.ini file, described in “Win16 Client Initialization File (sna.ini)”, to locate a server running SNAplus2.

If the server is set up to validate user names for Win16 clients (as described in “Win16 Client Security”), SNAplus2 displays a pop-up message requesting a password. You must type in a password. SNAplus2 uses this password and the user name configured for the Win16 client to validate that you are authorized to access the server. If the server is not set up to validate user names, the pop-up message does not appear.

If you want to enable the NAP automatically when the Windows system is started, you can include the Windows NAP icon in the “Startup” group, or list it in the [windows] section of the win.ini file as a program to be started automatically.

Disabling SNAplus2 for a Win16 Client

Before disabling the NAP, ensure that all SNAplus2 applications (3270 and 5250 emulation programs or applications using the SNAplus2 APIs) on the Win16 client have been stopped.
