SNA IMF Conﬁguration

NMMGR Conﬁguration Overview

The SNA IMF conﬁguration is done by using NMMGR to create or

modify a conﬁguration ﬁle. The basic operation of NMMGR is described

in Using the Node Management Services Utilities; if you are not familiar

with NMMGR, you should read that manual before continuing.

NOTE

When conﬁguring SNA IMF, the conﬁguration ﬁle can be named

anything you prefer. However, when you run SNA IMF, it looks for a

conﬁguration ﬁle named NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. For example, you could

have these conﬁguration ﬁles:

XYZ.CONFIG.SYS

CONFIG1.FILES.SYS

FILE3.CONFIG.SYS

If you wanted to use FILE3.CONFIG.SYS when you ran SNA IMF, you

would have to rename or copy the ﬁle to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS before you

started SNA IMF.

You conﬁgure these items for SNA IMF:

• SNA node and security class identiﬁcation data. This is the name of

the SNA node you are specifying security class information for, and

the name of the security class you are conﬁguring.

• Security class data. A list of up to 64 LUs can be conﬁgured for a

security class.

• Authorized user data. A list of up to 42 users can be authorized to

use the LUs in a security class.

• Authorized program data. A list of up to 26 programs can be

authorized to use the LUs in a security class.

NOTE

If you change the node conﬁguration for SNA IMF while it is running,

the changes will not take effect until SNA IMF is restarted.

Location of NMMGR Screens

Refer to the List of Figures for a location of the NMMGR screens used

in SNA IMF conﬁguration; it lists the page in this manual on which

each screen is shown.

Conﬁguration File Validation

Validating the conﬁguration ﬁle ensures that the conﬁguration data is

logically and syntactically correct. Each SNA service’s data is also

checked against the SNA node conﬁguration data for correctness (for
