Introducing SNAplus2
SNAplus2 Resources
The RJE workstation uses the node's type 0–3 LU
resources. In addition, SNAplus2 requires definitions
for the RJE workstations on the system. RJE
workstation definitions are configured in the domain
configuration file. In addition to the SNAplus2
configuration, the operation of the workstation is
controlled by a workstation style file, which is
maintained by the users of the workstation.
Application Programming Interfaces
SNAplus2 supports applications written to the following APIs:
APPC applications
APPC applications use the node's LU type 6.2
resources to communicate with another APPC or CPI-C
application on a host or peer computer, using a
specified mode. The APPC API includes TP server
support, enabling applications to have greater control
over starting transaction programs (TPs) and
distributing conversations to those TPs.
CPI-C applications
CPI-C applications use the node's LU type 6.2 and
mode resources to communicate with another APPC or
CPI-C application on a host or peer computer. A CPI-C
application requires the same resource definitions as
an APPC application. In addition, a CPI-C application
can have side information entries that provide
information about partner TPs, the LU and mode
resources used to access a partner, and any security
information required.
HLLAPI applications
HLLAPI applications interact with the 3270 emulation
program to automate standard 3270 tasks.
LUA applications
LUA applications use the node's type 0–3 LU resources
to communicate with a host application. No additional
resource definitions are required.
