SNAX/XF CNM Interface
DSM/SNAView Software
DSM/SNAView software is an application that sends formatted SNA alerts—either
Network Management Vector Transport (NMVT) request/response units or Record
Format Maintenance Statistics (RECFMS) request/response units—to an SNA host for
display on an IBM NetView or NET/MASTER console. The version of NetView must be
release 2 or higher; the version of NET/MASTER must be 2.1 or higher.
DSM/SNAView software was the primary means of integration with NetView prior to the
development of NonStop NET/MASTER MS. It continues to be available for use on
systems that have not yet migrated to NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
DSM/SNAView software can send alerts from SNA devices attached to the NonStop
S-series server. It can also send alerts from other HP subsystems or even from other
applications running on the NonStop S-series server. In the case of your applications,
the messages are formatted as network management vector transport (NMVT)
request/response units. The alerts correspond to EMS events, but the message format
is converted by the DSM/SNAView software.
SNAX/XF CNM Interface
SNAX/XF Communication Network Management (CNM) is a programmatic interface to
the SNA system services control point (SSCP) in the SNAX/XF subsystem. SNAX/XF
CNM allows you to develop an application on a NonStop S-Series server to perform
SNA network management functions. Through this interface, the application can have
access to SNA network management messages—either NMVT request/response units
or record format maintenance statistics (RECFMS) request/response units—that flow
between the NonStop S-series server and attached SNA controllers. A CNM
application can also respond to requests for SNA statistical information from SNA host
systems.
