Getting Started

Using SNAplus2 RJE

Chapter 2 29

Using SNAplus2 RJE

Before you begin, you must conﬁgure an RJE workstation and start the

SNAplus2 daemon. The SNAplus2 conﬁguration ﬁle, which is set up and

maintained by the system administrator, contains information that is

required for RJE communications. For conﬁguration information, see the

HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide and Chapter 6, “SNAplus2 RJE

Workstation Conﬁguration,” of this manual.

Starting the Daemon

In this chapter, it is assume d that you have conﬁgured a workstation

with at least one printer and one punch device . It is also assumed that

you have started the SNAplus2 daemon with the following command:

snap start

Along with the daemon, it is necessary to activate the node, port and LS

used by the RJE1 LUs. You can start the node, port and LS from the

xsnapadmin program or from the command line program, snapadmin.

(See the HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide for details.) From the

command line, type the following:

snapadmin init_node

snapadmin start_port, port_name=

portname

snapadmin start_ls, ls_name=

lsname

If you type the command, query_ls

lsname

, you should see the name of

the activated link station.

Specifying the Path to SNAplus2 Programs

RJE executable programs are stored in the directory /opt/sna/bin.

When you run the programs, you must specify the path to this directory.

You can specify the path either by adding the directory to your PATH

environment variable before you run the programs for the ﬁrst time, or

by including the directory name each time you run the programs.
