Introduction to SNAplus2

SNAplus2 Components

The users of an RJE workstation can define workstation style files to supplement the SNAplus2 configuration and to control the operation of the workstation.

Refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 RJE Users Guide for information about using RJE to submit jobs to a host and about setting up the workstation style file.

Application Programming Interfaces

SNAplus2 provides several standard programming interfaces that you can use to develop application programs:

•APPC API for peer-to-peer communications between application programs (see “APPC API”).

•CPI-C (Common Programming Interface for Communications) for platform-independent communication using independent LU 6.2 (see “CPI-C API”).

•CSV (Common Service Verb) API for utility functions such as character translation and application trace control (see “CSV API”).

•HLLAPI (high-level language application programming interface) for application programs that interact with the 3270 emulation program to automate standard 3270 tasks (see “HLLAPI”).

•LUA API for communications with host applications (see “LUA API”).

In addition, SNAplus2 includes the following proprietary programming interfaces:

•MS (Management Services) API for network messaging functions (see “MS API”).

•NOF (Node Operator Facility) API for applications that configure and manage SNAplus2 resources (see “NOF API”).

For Windows

Windows client APIs (see “Windows APIs”).
