Configuring for PLU Accept Using XLF

PLU accept means allowing remote SLUs (such as SNA devices) to logon to PLU

applications on the NonStop system.

For SNAX/APN XLF, PLU accept requires one or more HP NonStop Logon Managers

for IBM Systems (ILOGMGR) running in SNA hosts. The ILOGMGRs forward logon

requests to the NonStop system by communicating with one or more TLOGMGRs (a

component of the SNAX/APN line handler).

For the CRT and ITI protocols, you use SNAX Creator-2 to start NonStop applications

automatically. For the SNALU protocol, the NonStop applications must be started

explicitly.

PLU accept requires the following types of configuration:



SNAX Creator-2 configuration (if used)



SNAX/APN configuration



ILOGMGR control file definition



VTAM and NCP definitions

You should have performed Tasks 1 through 3 of Configuration Quick Start on

page 1-1.

Notes.

1. In the spooler configuration, the DEVTYPE is LU1 for printers using the SNA character

string or LU3 for printers using the SNA 3270 data stream.

2. The SNAX/APN remote LU has the attribute PROTOCOL CRT because PSPOOLB

operates in block mode.

3. The following examples illustrate some commands that could be used to send NonStop

files (named DOC1, TEXTFILE, and MYAPPL) to the IBM printer:

FUP COPY DOC1, $S.#P3287

TGAL /IN TEXTFILE, OUT $S.#P3287/

RUN MYAPPL /OUT $S.#P3287/

4. For more information about the PSPOOLB print process, see the Spooler Utilities

Reference Manual and the Spooler Programmer’s Guide.
