This manual is intended for the HP 3000 node manager or HP 3000 system manager who is responsible for data communications between the HP 3000 and the remote system. The node manager should have knowledge of the MPE XL operating system, should be familiar with the remote environment, and should have HP 3000 Node Manager (NM) capabilities.

Organization

This manual is divided into the following sections and appendices:

Chapter 1 “Introduction” briefly describes Advanced Program-to-Program Communication and gives a general description of the APPC subsystem.

Chapter 2 “Interactive Control Operator Commands” describes the commands that can be used interactively to control and monitor the APPC subsystem.

Chapter 3 “Control Operator Intrinsics” describes the intrinsics that can be used programmatically to control and monitor the APPC subsystem.

Chapter 4 “APPC Subsystem Configuration” gives instructions for configuring the APPC subsystem through the NMMGR configuration utility.

Chapter 5 “Managing the APPC Subsystem” discusses how the APPC subsystem is activated and deactivated, how conversations are established between local and remote transaction programs, and how the number of active APPC sessions can be changed.

Chapter 6 “Troubleshooting the APPC Subsystem” describes how to identify an APPC subsystem problem and the steps to take to resolve the problem.

Appendix A “Messages” lists the error and warning messages that the APPC subsystem can generate, the return codes that APPC subsystem intrinsics can return, and the configuration validation messages that NMMGR can generate during APPC subsystem configuration.

Appendix B “Sample Configuration” shows the NMMGR configuration screens for an example SNA node and APPC subsystem configuration. It also shows a critical summary of the HP 3000 configuration generated by NMMGR, and it lists portions of a remote system APPC configuration.

Appendix C “Configuration Worksheets” provides forms you can fill out to help you plan your APPC subsystem configuration. It also includes instructions for filling out the forms.

Appendix D “LU 6.2 API/XL Installation Guidelines” describes the tasks involved in installing LU 6.2 API/XL on your system. It lists the hardware and software required on the IBM system and the HP 3000 in order to run LU 6.2 API/XL.
