HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 APPC Programmer's Guide

Sample Transaction Programs

Testing the TPs

To run the TPs, perform the following steps. Note that some of these steps involve updating the SNAplus2

conﬁguration, which is usually performed by the System Administrator.

The TPs can run on the same computer, or on separate computers. In the following steps, the “source computer” is

the computer where the invoking TP

asample1 runs, and the “target computer” is the computer where the invoked

TP asample2 runs.

1. If you are running the TPs on separate computers, conﬁgure the communications link to support CP-CP sessions

between the source and target computers. See

HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide for more information.

2. Conﬁgure a mode. Specify LOCMODE as the mode name. Leave the default values for the other parameters.

3. Conﬁgure a logical unit (LU) on the source computer for asample1 (the invoking TP). Set both the LU name

and LU alias to

TPLU1 (the LU alias speciﬁed in the asample1 program). Leave the default values for the

other parameters.

4. If you are running the TPs on separate computers, conﬁgure a partner LU alias on the source computer to

identify the target LU. Set the partner LU name to

netname.TPLU2, where netname is the SNA network

name of the target computer.

5. Conﬁgure an LU on the target computer for the invoked TP. Set both the LU name and LU alias to

TPLU2 (the

alias by which the asample1 program refers to the LU serving asample2). Leave the default values for the

other parameters.

6. Conﬁgure the invoked TP in the SNAplus2 invokable TP data ﬁle on the target computer. Refer to the HP-UX

SNAplus2 Administration Guide for more information.

• For the TP name parameter, specify TPNAME2 (the name speciﬁed by the invoking TP).

• For Full path to TP executable, enter the full path name of the executable ﬁle asample2.

• For the User ID parameter, specify your HP-UX user ID on the target computer.

• Leave the default values for other parameters.

7. Start the invoking program, asample1. This program requires one parameter, the full path name (on the target

computer) of the ﬁle to be displayed. For example:

asample1 /usr/john/myfile.text

8. Enter F or B to display blocks of the requested ﬁle.

9. Use Q to end program 1; program 2 will end as well.
