This section describes the AS/400 configuration parameters that must be specified in order for the AS/400 to communicate with HP SNADS/iX. To enable HP Desk users and SNA/DS users on an AS/400 (such as AS/400 Office users) to exchange documents and messages, two parallel configurations must occur:
Two worksheets are provided to facilitate these configurations. The filled-in worksheets provide the information necessary to define HP Desk users in the AS/400 system directory or to define SNA/DS users in the HP Desk foreign address alias table. The worksheets are described in the following sections. The Worksheet for HP Desk Resident Users provides information that the AS/400 administrator needs to configure HP Desk users into the AS/400 system directory. This worksheet is also used by the HP SNADS/iX gateway administrator to configure the foreign address alias table within HP Desk. Figure 6-1 shows the HP SNADS/iX configuration worksheet HP Desk resident users worksheet for HP Desk resident users. The fields correspond to the numbers on the worksheet. Fields 1, 2, and 3 should be completed by the HP SNADS/iX gateway administrator. Fields 4, 5, and 6 should be completed by the IBM system administrator.
A copy of the completed worksheet should be given to the HP SNADS/iX gateway administrator to configure all HP Desk resident users into the HP Desk foreign address alias table. The AS/400 system directory identifies each AS/400 user. Each user on each system may be fully defined or generic definitions may be made for groups of users. The following fields are used with the Add New Directory Entry screen (WRKDIR command).
In order for AS/400 Office users to send messages to HP Desk users, HP SNADS/iX must have at least one distribution queue configured on the AS/400. A distribution queue serves to map a remote system address (in this case, the REN and RGN of the HP 3000 gateway system) to a specific APPC device. This allows messages destined for HP Desk to be directed to the proper connection and link. The following fields must be configured in the Add Distribution Queue screen (CFGDSTSRV command) of the AS/400:
The routing table determines the communication route that is used to distribute documents to particular users at particular systems. The following fields are used on the Add Routing Table Entry screen (CFGDSTSRV command).
The Worksheet for IBM SNA/DS Resident Users provides information that the HP SNADS/iX gateway administrator needs to configure AS/400 Office users into the HP Desk foreign address table. Figure 6-2 shows an example of the configuration worksheet for IBM SNA/DS resident users.
The fields correspond to the numbers on the worksheet. Fields 1, 2, and 3 should be completed by the AS/400 system administrator. Field 4 should be completed by the HP SNADS/iX gateway administrator.
The completed worksheet will provide all the information necessary for the HP SNADS/iX gateway administrator to configure the IBM SNA/DS resident users. |
