Before communication between the HP e3000 and the IBM SNA
host system is possible, both systems must be configured. The host configuration
should be done first, and it consists of changes to the system generations
of one or more of the following, as applicable for the SNA link
being used:
ACF/NCP
ACF/VTAM
X.25 NPSI
Host application subsystems (for example, CICS, IMS, and JES2)
that have an interface with the SNA services.
The ACF/NCP, ACF/VTAM, and X.25 NPSI generations must be coordinated
with the SNA node configuration on the HP e3000. Coordination between
the various host subsystems and the SNA services also must be done.
The relationships between host parameters and HP e3000 configuration
values are explained later in this chapter and in the Node
Manager's Guide for each SNA service. Your
IBM system programmer should send copies of the host configuration
to you or your Hewlett-Packard support contact, so that this coordination
can be accomplished.
The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration
Guide explains ACF/NCP, ACF/VTAM, and X.25 NPSI configuration
for the SNA links.
