Managing SNAplus2 Clients
Managing HP-UX Clients
HP-UX Client Network Data File
(sna_clnt.net)
The
sna_clnt.net
file defines the SNAplus2 facilities available on a
client computer running on a HP-UX system, and the servers the client
can access. For information about the equivalent file on a Windows
client, see Chapter 11, “Managing SNAplus2 Clients.”
It also includes information about setting up the IP port numbers that
SNAplus2 uses for client/server communications. The default port
numbers should be suitable in most cases; you need to refer to this
information only if SNAplus2 logs error messages indicating that there
is a port number clash with another program on the HP-UX computer.
A client computer does not hold a copy of the domain configuration file or
the SNA network data file; it holds only the information it needs to
access servers on the SNAplus2 LAN, and relies on a server to provide
the necessary configuration information.
The SNA network information required is held in the file
/etc/sna_clnt.net
. This file is set up during the client installation
process; it is an ASCII text file that can be modified later as required
using a standard text editor. The contents of the file are as follows:
domain =
domain_name
invoked_tps = YES | NO
lan_access_timeout =
nn
broadcast_attempt_count =
nn
server_lost_timeout =
nn
*
servername1
servername2
.
.
.
The following list describes the parameters in each line of the file:
domain
The domain_name parameter value indicates the
domain name of the SNAplus2 LAN; this name was
specified during the client installation. This line is
required.
invoked_tps
Specify
invoked_tps = YES
if this client is used to
run invoked TPs (APPC TPs that issue the
RECEIVE_ALLOCATE verb, or CPI-C applications
