IMS Requirements

The IMS configuration consists of defining the LU and its associated end-user device. IMS requires that the following information be defined:

TYPE—describes common characteristics of a group of SNA LUs of the same type. One TYPE macro is required for all SNA 3270 keyboard/displays and one for all 3270 printers.
TERMINAL—describes characteristics of an SNA LU and its associated end-user device. One TERMINAL macro is required for each LU.
NAME—associates an IMS name with an LU name. One NAME macro is required for each LU.

This chapter contains the information necessary to configure LU types 1, 2, and 3 for SNA IMF. Tables 4-1 and 4-2 contain the parameters required by Hewlett-Packard, and their values. For experienced IMS programmers, the table will provide most of the needed information. For more information, see "IMS Macro and Operand Descriptions" later in this chapter.




	WARNING! The HP SNA products are emulations of the IBM products. So, some parameters will need particular values based on the requirements of the HP products. Code these as specified or results are unpredictable.




	CAUTION: Hewlett-Packard requires that the host be configured as defined in this chapter, following the above guidelines. Any time spent solving problems related to incorrect configuration of the host is billable to the customer on a time and materials basis.
