5. SNA LU 6.2 API, APPC, and APPN
5.1 Description
SNA LU 6.2 API allows customers to write programs that communicate
with LU 6.2 programs on mainframes and AS/400s. LU 6.2 API is also
called Advanced Program-to-Program Communications, or APPC. Unlike 3270
HLLAPI or 3270 API, LU 6.2 does not emulate a terminal.
As of July 1991, HP's LU 6.2 and SNALink products will support PU
2.1 allowing Peer-to-Peer communications with AS/400s and mainframes.
HP's PU 2.1 emulates a "LEN-node" in IBM's Advanced Peer-to-Peer Net-
working (APPN) scheme.
HP provides SNA LU 6.2 on HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800.
The Series 700 is supported in the Gateway configuration only. A
Series 300, 400, or 800 system with Gateway SNALink is required. Native
SNA communications for the Series 700 is planned for mid-1992. Please
contact IND Product Marketing or the Sales Response Center for details.
SSI provides LU 6.2 on the Series 300 with RTI card and SASsbx
module. Sell SSI's LU 6.2 only when your customer must run both LU 6.2
and SSI's 3270 HLLAPI. Please contact IND Product Marketing before ord-
ering LU 6.2 from SSI.
