Managing SNAplus2 Clients

Managing HP-UX Clients

 

Managing HP-UX Clients

For UNIX

Client information for a client running on a HP-UX system is stored in

 

the sna_clnt.net file, which is created when you install the SNAplus2

 

software on the client. That file must be present before you can enable

 

SNAplus2 on the client.

 

Enabling SNAplus2 on HP-UX Clients

 

To enable the SNAplus2 software on a client running on a HP-UX

 

system, enter the following command at the HP-UX command prompt:

 

snap start [ -t ]

 

You can also enable SNAplus2 automatically at system startup by

 

inserting the snap start command into the startup file on your system.

 

(When you install SNAplus2, the installation utility automatically

 

updates the startup file with this information.)

 

The only option is as follows:

 

-t

 

Activates client/server tracing. This enables you to

 

diagnose problems that occur during the client's

 

attempt to connect to a server. If you do not use this

 

option, client/server tracing is inactive at all interfaces;

 

you can then activate it as required, using the

 

command-line administration program snapadmin.

 

This option is equivalent to selecting the Set all

 

tracing on field in the Motif administration program,

 

except that it does not enable DLC tracing.

 

Tracing degrades the performance of SNAplus2

 

components. After the software is enabled, you can use

 

the command-line administration program snapadmin

 

to stop tracing when it is no longer required. For more

 

information about tracing, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2

 

Diagnostics Guide.

 

SNAplus2 writes progress messages to standard error (normally your

 

terminal's screen). If SNAplus2 detects an error that prevents it from

 

enabling, it ends with a nonzero exit code. For more information, see

 

“Enabling SNAplus2 Servers”.
