Introduction to SNAplus2

 

SNAplus2 Components

 

Refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 3270/3179G Users Guide for information

 

about using the 3270 emulation software to communicate with a host.

 

For more information about configuring support for 3270 emulation, see

 

Chapter 8, “Configuring User Applications.”

 

5250 Emulation

 

Using 5250 emulation software, you can log on to and use AS/400

 

systems from your computer. You can use emulation software to control

 

display and printer emulation sessions and to transfer files between the

 

local computer and the AS/400. 5250 emulation uses the node's LU type

 

6.2 resources.

 

SNAplus2 does not provide a 5250 emulation program; it just provides

NOTE

 

support for third party 5250 emulation software.

 

To use 5250 emulation with SNAplus2, you need to define the 5250 users

 

 

on your system. 5250 users are defined as domain resources, which

 

simplifies the configuration required to support emulation across the

 

domain.

 

Depending on the requirements of the 5250 emulation program you use,

 

you may need to configure the emulation program with additional

 

information.

 

For more information about configuring support for 5250 emulation, see

 

Chapter 8, “Configuring User Applications.”

 

RJE Workstation Daemon

 

SNAplus2 provides support for remote job entry (RJE), enabling you to

 

submit jobs to a host computer for processing. The RJE workstation

 

daemon is the SNAplus2 component that handles transfer of jobs to the

 

host, and also handles the output returned from the host.

 

You can prepare jobs for submission to the host and add them to the

 

queue for an RJE workstation at any time, regardless of whether the

 

RJE workstation is running. When the workstation runs, it submits any

 

outstanding jobs to the host (in the order in which they were submitted).

 

It also routes any output received from the host to the appropriate

 

destination, as determined by the configuration.

 

The RJE workstation uses the node's LU type 0–3 resources. In addition,

 

you need to define (as domain resources) the RJE workstations on your

 

system.
