more information, see “SET_CS_TRACE”, “QUERY_CS_TRACE”,
“SET_TRACE_FILE”, and “QUERY_TRACE_FILE”. No other NOF
verbs can be issued to client computers.
Getting Started
The first step is to define the SNAplus2 node that runs on each computer,
and its communications links to other computers. To define these
components, use the following verbs:
• DEFINE_NODE
• DEFINE_DLC, DEFINE_PORT, DEFINE_LS
After defining these components, activate them to establish the link to
the remote system. (DLCs, ports, and LSs can be defined to be “initially
active” using the DEFINE_* verbs described previously, so that they are
started automatically when the node is started; in this case, it is not
necessary to start them manually.) To activate components, use the
following verbs:
• INIT_NODE
• START_DLC, START_PORT, START_LS
The components must be started in the order shown because each
component relies on the one before it.
To stop these components when access to the remote system is no longer
required, use the following verbs:
• STOP_LS, STOP_PORT, STOP_DLC
To obtain information about the configuration or current status of these
components, use the following verbs:
• QUERY_NODE
• QUERY_DLC, QUERY_PORT, QUERY_LS
To obtain information about the usage of an LS, use the following verb:
• QUERY_STATISTICS
To delete connectivity components when they are no longer required, use
the following verbs:
• DELETE_DLC, DELETE_PORT, DELETE_LS
