Introduction to SNAplus2
SNAplus2 Components
Refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 3270/3179G Users Guide for information
about using the 3270 emulation software to communicate with a host.
For more information about configuring support for 3270 emulation, see
Chapter 8, “Configuring User Applications.”
5250 Emulation
Using 5250 emulation software, you can log on to and use AS/400
systems from your computer. You can use emulation software to control
display and printer emulation sessions and to transfer files between the
local computer and the AS/400. 5250 emulation uses the node's LU type
6.2 resources.
NOTE SNAplus2 does not provide a 5250 emulation program; it just provides
support for third party 5250 emulation software.
To use 5250 emulation with SNAplus2, you need to define the 5250 users
on your system. 5250 users are defined as domain resources, which
simplifies the configuration required to support emulation across the
domain.
Depending on the requirements of the 5250 emulation program you use,
you may need to configure the emulation program with additional
information.
For more information about configuring support for 5250 emulation, see
Chapter 8, “Configuring User Applications.”
RJE Workstation Daemon
SNAplus2 provides support for remote job entry (RJE), enabling you to
submit jobs to a host computer for processing. The RJE workstation
daemon is the SNAplus2 component that handles transfer of jobs to the
host, and also handles the output returned from the host.
You can prepare jobs for submission to the host and add them to the
queue for an RJE workstation at any time, regardless of whether the
RJE workstation is running. When the workstation runs, it submits any
outstanding jobs to the host (in the order in which they were submitted).
It also routes any output received from the host to the appropriate
destination, as determined by the configuration.
The RJE workstation uses the node's LU type 0–3 resources. In addition,
you need to define (as domain resources) the RJE workstations on your
system.
