SNA Node and Link Configuration
Host Configuration Overview
Host Configuration Overview
Before communication between the HP 3000 and the IBM SNA host
system is possible, both systems must be configured. The host
configuration should be done first, and it consists of changes to the
system generations of one or more of the following, as applicable for the
SNA link being used:
• ACF/NCP
• ACF/VTAM
• X.25 NPSI
• Host application subsystems (for example, CICS, IMS, and JES2)
that have an interface with the SNA services
The ACF/NCP, ACF/VTAM, and X.25 NPSI generations must be
coordinated with the SNA node configuration on the HP 3000.
Coordination between the various host subsystems and the SNA
services also must be done. The relationships between host parameters
and HP 3000 configuration values are explained later in this chapter
and in the Node Manager’s Guide for each SNA service. Your IBM
system programmer should send copies of the host configuration to you
or your Hewlett-Packard support contact, so that this coordination can
be accomplished.
The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide explains
ACF/NCP, ACF/VTAM, and X.25 NPSI configuration for the SNA links.
