HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 NOF Programmer's Guide

Introduction to the NOF API
NOF Verbs to Manage Specific SNAplus2 Functions
• QUERY_CN, QUERY_CN_PORT
To delete a CN when it is no longer required, or to remove ports from a CN without deleting the CN, use the
following verb:
• DELETE_CN
To stop the node, which deactivates all resources associated with it, use the following verb:
• TERM_NODE
To define default parameters used by the node, or to query the definition of these parameters, use the following
verbs:
• DEFINE_DEFAULTS, QUERY_DEFAULTS
To query the options and limits permitted by your SNAplus2 license for the node, use the following verb:
• QUERY_NODE_LIMITS
1.5.3 3270 Communications
If SNAplus2 users will be using 3270 emulation to communicate with host systems, you need to define the
communications link to the host. For more information, see Section 1.5.2, Getting Started. The definition of
the LS to the host must include the name of a local PU to own the LUs required for 3270 emulation and must have
the solicit_sscp_sessions parameter set to AP_YES.
You then need to define LUs that can be used for 3270 emulation, and also the users that can access these LUs. To
do this, use the following verbs:
• DEFINE_LU_0_TO_3, DEFINE_LU_0_TO_3_RANGE
• DEFINE_EMULATOR_USER
To obtain information about the configuration or current status of LUs, use the following verb:
• QUERY_LU_0_TO_3
To obtain information about the PU that owns an LU, use the following verb:
• QUERY_PU
To obtain information about the definition of a 3270 user, about the user’s current 3270 emulation program usage,
or about individual sessions being accessed by the user, use the following verbs:
• QUERY_EMULATOR_USER_DEF, QUERY_3270_USER, QUERY_3270_USER_SESSIONS
To delete LUs when they are no longer required, or to delete users so that they can no longer access 3270 emulation,
use the following verbs:
• DELETE_LU_0_TO_3, DELETE_LU_0_TO_3_RANGE
• DELETE_EMULATOR_USER
If you want to provide LU pools (groups of LUs that can be assigned to user sessions as required, rather than having
an LU explicitly defined for each user session), use the following verbs to define a pool, to obtain information about
the definition, or to delete a pool or remove LUs from it when no longer required:
• DEFINE_LU_POOL, QUERY_LU_POOL, DELETE_LU_POOL
If you want to enable 3270 users to send alert messages to the host NetView operator, or if you want to specify
how the 3270 emulation program should classify response-time information that users can view with the Response
Time Monitor feature, use the following verbs to define alerts and response-time boundaries or to obtain information
about the current definitions:
• DEFINE_3270_DIAG, QUERY_3270_DIAG
