Managing SNAplus2 Client/Server Systems
Managing HP-UX Clients
only if SNAplus2 logs error messages indicating that there is a port number clash with another program on the
same 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/opt/sna/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.
Note
After changing the parameters in this file, you need to stop and restart the client before
your changes take effect. For details of how to do this, see Section 11.4.1, Enabling and
disabling SNAplus2 on HP-UX clients.
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 that issue the Accept_Conversation or Accept_Incoming
verbs). In this case, you may also need to define the TP on this client. For more information, see Section
7.4, Defining TPs.
Specify invoked_tps = NO if this client is not used to run invoked TPs.
This line is optional; if it is not included, the default is NO.
lan_access_timeout
Specify the time in seconds for which the IP or HTTPS connection from the client to a server should be kept
active while no applications on the client are using SNAplus2 resources. For more information, see Section
11.1.2, LAN Access Timeout.
The minimum timeout is 60 seconds (lower values are rounded up to 60 seconds). To bring down the
connection more quickly, disable the SNAplus2 software on the client.
To indicate no timeout, so that the connection is kept active as long as the SNAplus2 software is running on
the client, do not specify this parameter.
This parameter is optional; if it is not specified, the default is no timeout.
