To run SNA IMF on your HP 3000, you must
install the product and configure both your HP 3000 environment
and the host system to support SNA IMF. As part of the configuration
process, you must ensure that the HP 3000 parameters match
those on the host side. The necessary parameters are described in Chapter 3 “SNA IMF Configuration” in this manual.
Before you install SNA IMF on the HP 3000, you must
do the following things:
Ensure that the modem link between
the HP 3000 and the host operates. If you use HP modems,
Hewlett-Packard will help you verify that these modems work.
Configure a remote IBM 3270 control unit
on the host system. This can involve system generation changes to
the host operating system, teleprocessing subsystem software, and
an IBM 37xx front end processor. Also, you might need to
install additional hardware on the host to support a remote IBM 3270
port. For information on host configuration, consult the following
manuals:
| HP SNA Products: Manager's
Guide |
| HP SNA Products: ACF/VTAM and ACF/NCP Guide |
| HP SNA Products: CICS Guide |
| HP SNA Products: IMS Guide |
| HP SNA Products: AS/400 Guide |
Obtain a copy of the host system generation. You will need
this information later during SNA IMF installation.
Have available a host system program that can communicate
with a remote IBM 3270 control unit. You can use this host
program to test SNA IMF.
Ensure that the correct SNA link product has been
installed.
After you perform these pre-installation tasks, your HP 3000
will be prepared for SNA IMF installation. Follow the instructions
in the HP 3000 MPE XL Installation and Update
Manual or the HP 3000 MPE XL Add-On Manual to
install SNA IMF with the MPE AUTOINST utility.
After you have installed SNA IMF, run NMMAINT.PUB.SYS to ensure that the AUTOINST utility successfully
installed the right versions of all the necessary software modules.
Your HP representative will perform a minimum configuration
of SNA IMF to verify that the product is working correctly.
