Introduction to SNAplus2
SNAplus2 Administration
• Querying the configuration of defined resources and their current
status if they are active
• Deleting resources
The Motif administration program can be used to manage both node
resources (for any server on the LAN, as long as the SNAplus2 software
is running on that server) and domain resources. For each type of
communications (such as 3270 or APPC), the program guides you in
setting up the configuration of the required resources.
NOTE The windows and dialogs in the Motif administration program may differ
from those shown in this guide, depending on the functions included with
your installation of SNAplus2 and the choices you make on a particular
dialog.
The Motif administration program includes help screens that provide
overview information for SNA and SNAplus2, reference information for
SNAplus2 dialogs, and guidance for performing specific tasks.
Before starting the Motif administration program, make sure the
SNAplus2 software is enabled. For more information, see Chapter 3,
“Administering SNAplus2.”
To start the Motif administration program in the background, issue the
following command:
xsnapadmin &
All started SNAplus2 servers are shown on the main screen. For those
that have already been configured, the program enables you to select a
node, and then displays the selected node's configuration. Otherwise, the
program prompts you to select a node and leads you through the
required steps to define it.
For more information about how to use the Motif administration
program to define and manage SNAplus2 resources, see “Invoking the
Motif Administration Program”, or refer to the help screens provided by
the program.
NOTE The Motif administration program enables you to set up all required
parameters for standard SNAplus2 configurations. For advanced
parameters, the Motif administration program supplies default values.
You need to supply only the essential configuration information, which
enables you to set up SNA communications quickly and easily.
