Introducing SNAplus2

SNAplus2 Resources

HP-UX Clients

A client computer does not contain an SNA node; it holds only the

information it needs to access servers on the SNAplus2 LAN, and relies

on a server to provide the necessary conﬁguration information.

Most of the details of using HP-UX clients are the same as those for a

server, except that the client has no node resources to deﬁne and

manage.

Windows Clients

SNAplus2 enables machines running Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows

95, and Windows NT to act as clients in the SNAplus2 domain.

SNAplus2 provides API support for Windows clients. The following APIs

are supported:

• FMI (used by 3270 emulation programs)

• APPC

• CPI-C

•LUA

• CSV

All of these APIs are binary compatible with the WOSA APIs used by

Microsoft SNA Server, so third-party applications supported by SNA

Server (for example, 3270 emulation programs such as Attachmate

Extra, NetSoft Dynacom Elite, and WallData Rumba) are also supported

by SNAplus2 Windows clients.

For more information about managing Windows clients, refer to HP-UX

SNAplus2 Administration Guide. For information about Windows SNA

APIs, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide or the

documentation provided with Microsoft SNA Server.
