Managing SNAplus2 Clients

Overview

Overview
A domain for SNAplus2 can include both servers (SNA nodes) and clients
(which can access SNA connectivity through a server). Clients can be
computers running the HP-UX operating system or the Windows 3.1,
Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, or Windows NT operating
systems.
Servers and clients communicate across the SNAplus2 domain using
TCP/IP. A client can access one or more servers at the same time, and
can run concurrent applications as needed. For information about the
networking requirements for a client/server configuration, see "Client
Networking Requirements".
Some commands can be issued from SNAplus2 clients, provided the
command includes the -n option to specify a server name. Such a
command has the same effect as if it were issued at the named server.
There are two versions of the Windows client:
• The 32-bit Win32 client can be run on Windows NT (Version 3.51 or
later) and Windows 95.
• The 16-bit Win16 client can be run on Windows 3.1 and Windows for
Workgroups 3.11.
For Windows clients, you must supply information that SNAplus2 can
use to enable the client software. If you plan to have invokable TPs on
the Windows client, you must also supply information about the TPs. For
information about these functions, and for instructions on enabling and
disabling the SNAplus2 software on a Windows client, see "Overview" or
"Managing Win16 Clients".
For HP-UX clients, you must supply information about the SNAplus2
network and servers. For information about this function, and for
instructions on enabling and disabling the SNAplus2 software on HP-UX
clients, see "Managing HP-UX Clients".
