HLLAPI Programmers Guide or HP-UX SNAplus2 3270/3179G Users
Guide.
LUA API
The LUA API enables application programmers to write applications
that communicate with host applications at the request unit and
response unit (RU) level, and to send and receive data on both the
SSCP-LU session and the PLU-SLU session. This API can be used to
support LU 0, 1, 2, or 3 communication with the host.
An LUA application uses the node's LU type 0–3 resources to
communicate with a host application. You do not need to define any
additional resources.
For more information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 LUA Programmers
Guide.
MS API
The Management Services (MS) API enables an application to
communicate with other MS products in an APPN network. An
application can be either NMVT-level or MDS-level, depending on the
type of MS data it sends and receives. SNAplus2 performs any data
conversion that is required.
For more information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 MS Programmers
Guide.
NOF API
The NOF API can be used to write applications that administer
SNAplus2 configuration and management resources. For more
information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 NOF Programmers Guide.
Windows APIs

Architecture (WOSA), enabling applications written for SNA Server to
run unchanged on the SNAplus2 Windows client.
