SNAX Creator-2 A software product that starts CRT or ITI applications automatically
when a logon request or an INIT-SELF request is received. SNAX
Creator-2 replaces the original Creator process.
SNAX Extended
Facility (SNAX/XF)
A software product that enables IBM Systems Network
Architecture (SNA) hosts and devices to communicate with and
share applications with NonStop S-series servers. Application
programs using SNAX/XF can participate in an SNA environment
while taking advantage of HP product features such as high data
integrity, continuous availability, and modular expandability.
SNAX/XF allows devices connected to a NonStop S-series server
to communicate with applications on either a NonStop server or an
IBM host. SNAX/XF can run over X.25 packet-switched data
networks (PSDNs), token-ring and Ethernet local area networks
(LANs), and other types of networks.
SNAX High-Level
Support (SNAX/HLS)
A software product that provides a general-purpose, high-level
interface by which HP application programs can communicate with
intelligent IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA) devices and
software products, regardless of communications protocols.
SNAX/HLS supports LU types 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7.
SNAX product family The Systems Network Architecture Communications Services
(SNAX) product family consists of those HP software products that
provide access to IBM SNA networks.

Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF)
A Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
interface that allows
the operator to manage communications lines, devices, and
subsystems. The SCF command interpreter works with the
Subsystem Control Point (SCP)
to configure and control data
communications subsystems. SCP conveys messages from SCF
to the subsystems and returns completion messages to SCF.
Subsystem Control
Point (SCP)
In Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
, the management
process for all HP data communications subsystems. There can be
several instances of the SCP process. Commands for data
communications subsystems are sent to an instance of SCP,
which in turn sends the commands on to the manager processes
of the target subsystems. SCP also processes a few commands
itself. It provides security features, version compatibility, and
support for tracing and for applications implemented as NonStop
process pairs.
Subsystem
Programmatic
Interface (SPI)
A set of procedures, definitions, and conventions for building and
retrieving information from command, response, and event-
message buffers. SPI formats and protocols are published and
supported by HP; therefore you can develop applications that
manage HP subsystems, and you can make your own applications
manageable by Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
tools.
