HP-UX SNAplus3179G, Technical Data For HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 Computer Systems Product Number J2236A, J2230A, J2224A The HP-UX SNAplus3179G software product enables the HP 9000 Series 300/400, 700 and 800 running the HP-UX operating system, and the X Windows System, to emulate an IBM 3179G/3192G color graphics display station. SNAplus3179G allows interactive communications between an HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 and an IBM System/370 or compatible mainframe using SNA communications and 3270 data stream. [Figure: , Caption: none] The HP-UX SNAplus3179G can be configured as either stand-alone or client/server. The standalone configuration provides IBM mainframe access for a single HP-UX computer which has its own HP-UX SNAplusLink. The client/server configuration permits access to the IBM mainframe from multiple HP-UX computers on an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN. These computers generally use a single HP 9000 computer with an SNAplusLink as a server to access the IBM mainframe. The HP-UX SNAplusLink provides the major features of an IBM 3274 cluster control unit and the lower four levels of SNA. Physical Unit Type 2 and Type 2.1 (PU2 and PU 2.1) are emulated, Logical Unit Types 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6.2 (LU0, LU1, LU2, LU3, LU6.2) are supported. When used with HP-UX SNAplusLink, SNAplus3179G allows access to the Graphical Data Display Manager (GDDM) and 3270 applications on the mainframe, such as TSO and CMS. Features The HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 with SNAplus3179G supports host interactive color graphics on IBM System/370 or compatible mainframes, by emulating a subset of the features of an IBM 3179G color graphics display station. The SNAplus3179G product supports the following features: o Alphanumeric/APL keyboard HP-UX X11 Window system support allows the user to create, move, shuffle, iconify, or refresh windows; the window manager allows the execution of several HP-UX SNAplus3179G applications in a multitasking mode; the graphics, color, and special effects of the IBM 3179G applications are maintained while executing SNAplus3179G in the X Window System o High-quality color vector graphics o Seven colors (red, blue, green, yellow, pink, white and turquoise) plus black background o Bit-mapped display with 24 and 32 line support o Program symbol support: PSA, PSB, and ISS 1-4 o Three window sizes: - 512 x 720 pixels - 672 x 960 pixels - 320 x 480 pixels (height x width) o Two screen formats: - 1920 characters - 2560 characters o Efficient screen handling routines provide a very responsive and low-overhead user interface o Adjustment for aspect ratio difference. o A graphic cross-hair cursor with pixel-level resolution. o Vector-to-raster graphics, Program Symbol Graphics (PSA and PSB only) and Triple plane image symbol sets o A mouse can be used to control the position of the graphic cursor. o Audible alarm and numeric lock o APL support. o For information about limited support on X-terminals, contact your HP Representative Functional Specifications When SNAplusLink and SNAplus3179G are used together, the SNAplusLink emulates an IBM 3274 model 51C cluster controller, and SNAplus3179G emulates a 3179G Model G1 or G2 display. Local screen print is available with SNAplus3179G through the functionality of X Windows. All printers supported by X Windows are supported by SNAplus3179G. SNAplus3179G allows communications with an IBM 370 or compatible mainframe running VM, VM/XA, MVS/SP, MVS/XA, or MVS/ESA operating systems and ACF/VTAM through an IBM 3705, 3725 or 3745 communications controller running ACF/NCP. Features Not Supported PCFile transfer capability is not included with SNAplus3179G. For file transfer, either SNAplus3270 or SNAplusRJE in a separate X Window, can be used in conjunction with SNAPlus3179G. The following major features of an IBM 3179G color display station are not implemented by SNAplus3179G: o Response time monitor function. o Attached plotter o Fields or characters with the blinking attribute o Operator selection of: - Alternate alpha and graphic cursor type - Graphic/alpha cursor select using +Cr key - Cursor blink, keyboard click, numeric lock, audible alarm volume o Alpha cursor movement using a mouse o Accelerated or diagonal cursor movement o Cursor position display o Keyboard entry assist o Cancel screen copy in progress o Basic assurance test o Offline test o Attribute/null display test o Underpaint background mix Product Requirements ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Environment SNAPlus3179G SNAPlus3179G SNAplus3179G Series 300,400 Series 700 Series 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Models 3xx, 4xx 7xx 8x7, 890/1-2, 890/3-4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating System HP-UX 9.0 or later ---------------------------------------------------------------------- STREAMS/UX J2231A J2232A J2237A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SNAplusLink Not available J2226A J2220A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LAN/9000 Bundled with HP-UX 9000 systems Token Ring/9000 Not available J2165A J2166A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Memory 600KB 600KB 600KB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Disk Space 600MB 600MB 600MB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Host IBM System/370 or compatible mainframe (Series 30xx or 43xx) in an SNA environment ACF/VTAM and ACF/NCP GDDM, SAS/GRAPH, TSO or CMS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer Installation Responsibility Installation of these products requires knowledge in several overlapping areas. The staff engineer responsible for this task must have strong knowledge of (or have direct contact with staff with strong knowledge of): SNA networks, application environments, HP-UX system administration, and X-window setup. Installation requires basic SNA knowledge. This includes knowledge of interface nodes, network routers, NAUs, PUs, LUs, link types, IBM hardware and software. The installer must understand why the SNAplus products are being installed, how the users are going to use SNAplus and how SNAplus fits into the network solution. Installation of SNAplus requires a thorough user-level knowledge of HP-UX commands. In addition, the installer must be familiar with: - running update on an HP-UX system - running SAM (in order to add users) - the HP-UX file system, privilege groups, and real-time features - running LAN and PSI diagnostics on an HP-UX system - HP-UX kernel configuration Customers who cannot compose a team with this skill set should purchase HP Installation and Network Startup services. Additional Implementation Assistance For implementation needs that go beyond installation, the customer can either provide self-support, or can purchase additional services from HP. These services include Network Startup and HP ConsultLine. In addition, the customer can also purchase service from HP on a time-and-materials basis. Network Startup includes implementation scheduling and coordination assistance, network configuration and verification testing, and network documentation. Ordering Information HP-UX SNAplus3179G includes right-to-use license and software. For Series 300, 400, and 700, customer must specify software version option and a media option, and for the Series 800, a processor option. HP-UX SNAplus3179G requires HP STREAMS/UX for Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 running HP-UX 9.0.
