MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of computers. In HP documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX. MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories). Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the operating system for HP 3000s, not based on PA-RISC architecture. MPE V software can be run on the PA-RISC (Series 900) HP 3000s in what is known as compatibility mode. This manual describes the requirements for configuring an IBM remote system for communications with Hewlett-Packard Systems Network Architecture (SNA) products. The following remote configurations are described: Advanced Communication Function Network Control Program (ACF/NPC)
and Advanced Communication Function Virtual Telecommunication Access
Method (ACF/VTAM) Job Entry Subsystem (JES) Customer Information Control System (CICS) Information Management System (IMS) Distributed Office System Services (DISOSS)
This manual does not describe the features and functions of HP SNA products. Refer to the product documentation for detailed information on product features. Audience The intended audience includes HP system and network administrators, and anyone who might be involved in configuring and supporting communications between HP SNA subsystems and supported remote systems. Assumptions This manual assumes that the reader has knowledge of the following: The operating system environment of the HP system (MPE/V or MPE/iX).
This manual is not intended as a replacement of any IBM configuration manuals. Manual Organization This manual is organized into the following chapters: - Chapter 1,
VTAM Configuration, describes the required NCP and VTAM configurations for HP SNA products running on MPE/V or MPE/iX platforms. Relevant NCP and VTAM macros and operands are described in the last section of the chapter. - Chapter 2,
JES Configuration, describes the required JES2, JES3, and POWER configurations for SNA NRJE (MPE/V and MPE/iX). Relevant JES and POWER macros and parameters are described in the second half of the chapter. - Chapter 3,
CICS Configuration, describes the required CICS configurations for SNA IMF (MPE/V and MPE/iX), LU 6.2 API (MPE/V and MPE/iX), LU 6.2 Base/V, and HP SNADS/iX. Relevant CICS macros and operands are described in the second half of the chapter. - Chapter 4,
IMS Configuration, describes the required IMS configurations for SNA IMF (MPE/V and MPE/iX). Relevant IMS macros and operands are described in the chapter. - Chapter 5,
DISOSS Configuration, describes the required DISOSS configuration HP SNADS/iX. This chapter describes how to use the worksheets that are provided to configure users. This chapter also describes the DISOSS Host User Profile (HUP) configuration for adding new users. - Chapter 6,
AS/400 Configuration, describes the required IBM AS/400 configurations for SNA IMF (MPE/V and MPE/iX), SNA IMF/iX over X.25, NS over SNA/iX, and LU 6.2 API/iX. - Appendix A,
VTAM Examples, contains sample NCP and VTAM configurations for various HP SNA products. - Appendix B,
JES Examples, contains sample JES and POWER configurations. - Appendix C,
CICS Examples, contains sample CICS configurations. - Appendix D,
IMS Examples, contains sample IMS configurations. - Appendix E,
DISOSS Examples, contains samples of HP configuration worksheets and DISOSS configurations. - Appendix F,
AS/400 Examples, contains sample AS/400 configurations.
