Configuring the SNA gateway

BARR/NJE

Your SNA administrator must configure an SNA gateway connection for the BARR/NJE PU defined to VTAM. Your SNA gateway can be Microsoft SNA Server, Microsoft SNA Workstation, or Microsoft Host Integration Server (HIS). (See the System requirements topic for more information.) After this is complete, follow these steps to activate the PU and define the programs to the appropriate SNA gateway. These steps assume that your SNA gateway is already connected to the host with a valid PU definition. If you need instructions on defining a PU, refer to the Help for your Microsoft SNA gateway. The SNA gateway must be installed before you can connect to the host using the MS/LUA link.

The SNA gateway is only needed if any of the connections are going to be through SNA nodes. If all connections are Barr SNA or channel-to-channel (CTC), then you can skip this topic. The system administrator can determine what is being supported. If you are using Microsoft SNA Workstation, follow the configuration steps for Microsoft SNA Server.

Make sure your Microsoft SNA gateway connection has XID=3 so that independent LU sessions are enabled.

  1. Open Microsoft SNA Manager.

  2. From the list on the left side of the window, select the connection you want to configure.

  3. SNA Server or SNA Workstation – On the menu bar, select Insert | 3270 | Application LU (LUA).

  4. HIS – Right-click the connection and select Application LU (LUA).

  1. In the LU Name box, enter the value specified for the luname parameter during VTAM configuration.

  2. In the LU Number box, enter the value specified for the LOCADDR parameter during VTAM configuration.
