Installing the TN3270e Server

Follow these steps to install the TN3270e server:

1. If you are using Install (D-series installations only) to install the TN3270e server,

perform the RESTDSV, SYSGEN, and REPSUBSYS phases of the Install

program.

If you are using DSM/SCM to install the TN3270e server, see the DSM/SCM

User’s Guide for detailed information about DSM/SCM installation methods.

2. Start the TCP/IP process.

Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), as shown next, to set the TCP/IP host

name if it is not already set.

3. Start the TN3270e server.

4. Connect to the TN3270e server from a TN3270 client.

Defining the TCP/IP Host Name

Use the following procedure to define the IP host name before bringing up the

TN3270e server.

Use SCF to set the TCP/IP HOSTNAME attribute, as follows:

TACL 1> SCF

1-> ASSUME PROCESS tcpip-process

2-> ALTER,HOSTNAME "host-name"

If the TCP/IP HOSTNAME attribute is set, error messages sent to the client are

prefixed with host-name.

Troubleshooting the Installation

After starting TCP/IP, you can verify the network connection from the workstation to the

host using one of the following methods:



Use the PING utility located in the PCTCP subdirectory. PING sends a probe

packet from one end of a TCP/IP connection to another and verifies that an

acknowledgment was received. PING is provided by many TCP/IP

Note. You can continue to use Install for your D-series system software installations. Be

advised, however, that dates may not be displayed properly. HP advises that you use

DSM/SCM to avoid this inconvenience. For G-series and H-series system software

installations, you must use DSM/SCM.
