APPC Subsystem on MPE/XL Node Manager's Guide (30294-90007)

14
Audience
This manual is intended for the HP 3000 node manager or HP 3000
system manager who is responsible for data communications between
the HP 3000 and the remote system. The node manager should have
knowledge of the MPE XL operating system, should be familiar with
the remote environment, and should have HP 3000 Node Manager
(NM) capabilities.
Organization
This manual is divided into the following sections and appendices:
Chapter 1 , “Introduction,” briefly describes Advanced
Program-to-Program Communication and gives a general description of
the APPC subsystem.
Chapter 2 , “Interactive Control Operator Commands,” describes the
commands that can be used interactively to control and monitor the
APPC subsystem.
Chapter 3 , “Control Operator Intrinsics,” describes the intrinsics that
can be used programmatically to control and monitor the APPC
subsystem.
Chapter 4 , “APPC Subsystem Configuration,” gives instructions for
configuring the APPC subsystem through the NMMGR configuration
utility.
Chapter 5 , “Managing the APPC Subsystem,” discusses how the APPC
subsystem is activated and deactivated, how conversations are
established between local and remote transaction programs, and how
the number of active APPC sessions can be changed.
Chapter 6 , “Troubleshooting the APPC Subsystem,” describes how to
identify an APPC subsystem problem and the steps to take to resolve
the problem.
Appendix A , “Messages,” lists the error and warning messages that the
APPC subsystem can generate, the return codes that APPC subsystem
intrinsics can return, and the configuration validation messages that
NMMGR can generate during APPC subsystem configuration.
Appendix B , “Sample Configuration,”shows the NMMGR configuration
screens for an example SNA node and APPC subsystem configuration.
It also shows a critical summary of the HP 3000 configuration
generated by NMMGR, and it lists portions of a remote system APPC
configuration.
Appendix C , “Configuration Worksheets,” provides forms you can fill
out to help you plan your APPC subsystem configuration. It also
includes instructions for filling out the forms.
