Data Required From the Host Configuration

Data in an SNA IMF configuration file must correspond to information from the host configuration. Before using NMMGR, you should have certain information from the host configuration.

You must coordinate the SNA IMF configuration with the ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM host configurations. The HP SNA Products: ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Guide explains these configurations (see the list of related publications in the preface of this manual).

Table 3-1 “ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Corresponding Values” shows the relationship between items from the ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM configurations and items in the SNA IMF configuration file. To determine whether the value of a host macro must match the value entered in the corresponding NMMGR screen field, see that field's description later in this chapter.

	NOTE: It is not necessary to configure TSO explicitly to communicate with SNA IMF. All the information TSO needs to communicate with SNA IMF is configured through VTAM.

Table 3-2 “AS/400 Corresponding Values” shows the relationship between items from the IBM AS/400 configuration and items in the SNA IMF configuration file. To determine whether the value of a host parameter must match the value entered in the corresponding NMMGR screen field, see that field's description later in this chapter. For more information on configuring an IBM AS/400 to communicate with SNA IMF, see the HP SNA Products: AS/400 Guide.

	NOTE: When you configure a device on the AS/400, System/36, or System/38 to communicate with SNA IMF, the device type must be 3277. In addition to NMMGR configuration, SNA IMF also requires that you configure Pass Thru options in a file called PTCONFIG. In order to use Pass Thru to communicate with an IBM AS/400, you must specify UNBIND: NO in the PTCONFIG file. For more information, see Using SNA IMF Pass Thru.
