Introduction to SNAplus2
SNAplus2 Administration
Using command-line utilities, you can filter trace files to extract or
interpret specific information or to produce a summary of message
flows. The resulting output files can be viewed using a standard
ASCII text editor such as vi.
SNAplus2 can generate alerts and send them to the NetView
program at a host computer. These alerts can be any of the following:
Link alerts from connectivity components, to provide information
about connection problems
3270 user alerts from the emulation program
Alerts supplied by an application program using the MS API
Refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide for information about
SNAplus2 log messages, using SNAplus2 trace facilities, and
interpreting trace files.
For information about using the MS API, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2
MS Programmers Guide.
Simple Network Management Protocol Support
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an
industry-standard management protocol. SNAplus2 includes an SNMP
subagent to provide support for the APPN Management Information
Base (MIB) database maintained by AIX.
For a more detailed discussion of SNMP and for a list of the APPN MIB
objects that are supported by the SNAplus2 SNMP subagent, see
Appendix B, “APPN Network Management Using the Simple Network
Management Protocol.”
