HP-UX SNAplus3270, Technical Data
For HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 Computer Systems
Product Numbers J2233A, J2227A, J2221A
HP-UX SNAplus3270 allows interactive communications between an
HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700 or 800 and an IBM System/370-compatible
mainframe or an IBM peer system such as the AS/400 using SNA 3270
protocols, handling 8-bit data streams. HP terminals, monitors, and
printers on the HP 9000 running SNAplus3270 emulate the functions of IBM
3278 terminals and 3287 printers. SNAplus3270 provides additional
functionality beyond emulation to include features such as file
transfer, HLLAPI application programming interface, Motif graphical user
interface and multiple session support.
[Figure: , Caption:none]
The HP-UX SNAplus3270 is available in two configurations: stand-alone
and client/server. The stand-alone configuration provides access to IBM
mainframes or peer systems for a single HP-UX computer which has its own
HP-UX SNAplusLink. The client/server configuration permits access to
the IBM system from multiple HP-UX computers on an Ethernet or Token
Ring LAN. These computers generally use a single HP 9000 computer with
SNAplusLink as a gateway to access the IBM system.
The SNAplusLink provides the major features of an IBM 3174 and 3274
cluster control unit and the lower four levels of SNA. Physical Unit
Type 2 and PU 2.1 (PU2, PU2.1) are emulated, Logical Unit Types 0, 1, 2,
3 and 6.2 (LU0, LU1, LU2, LU3, and LU6.2) are supported. When used with
HP-UX SNAplusLink, SNAplus3270 allows access to 3270 applications on the
mainframe such as TSO, CMS, and CICS.
Features
o Allows HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700 or 800 system monitors, terminals,
and printers to emulate the major features of IBM 3278 terminals and
3287 printers. Terminal access can be through the standard HP-UX
supported options (asynchronous or bit-mapped display) or through PCs
running AdvanceLink's terminal emulator. Terminal access can also be
through workstation's X-Windows environments by running a terminal
emulator such as HPTerm.
o PC3270 file transfer enables interactive file transfers of 8-bit data
streams on the HP 9000 to IBM systems running TSO, CICS, or CMS.
o Up to 10 sessions and hot key capability through windows environments
enables the user to control multiple host sessions on the same
monitor.
o Escape to UNIX(r) shell provides terminal users with the ability to
access other HP-UX programs while maintaining the 3270 session in the
background.
o Supports IBM's Response Time Monitor (RTM) which allows users to
display statistics on how quickly the IBM host is responding to
requests for data.
o Supports NetView 3270 User Alerts for communicating with the host
operator.
o HLLAPI (High-Level Language Application Programming Interface)
provides a programmable interface for automating data transfer
operations and repetitive tasks, such as automating startup of host
3270 applications.
o Motif graphical user interface
o Motif interface provides seven colors: red, blue, green, yellow,
pink, white and turquoise
o Highlight attributes: normal, intense, blinking, reverse video, and
underlined
o Keyboard remapping with view, swap and disable key assignments.
o International language support variants of EBCDIC
o Background operation of the ASCII version of the 3270 emulation
program enables host printing, HLLAPI applications and command-line
file transfers.
o Type-ahead of keystrokes that will be required after the host has
responded.
o Keystroke record and replay to start up host application, log on, or
perform any standard initialization
o File pull-down menu to open, create, save style files, setup multiple
style files, and control host sessions.
Functional Specifications
When used with HP-UX SNAplusLink, SNAplus3270 emulates a 3174 or 3274
cluster controller and 3278 Model 2, 3, 4, and 5 displays or 3278 Model
printers. Some of the functionality of SNAplus3270 includes:
o All printers and terminals supported by the HP 9000 Series 300, 400,
700, and 800 running HP-UX are supported by SNAplus3270. (See
Technical Reference Guide, HP Vectra PCs, Monitors, and Terminals for
specific terminals.)
o Local screen print, screen logging to disk, 3287 printer output
redirection to printer, file or user program.
o IND$FILE for file transfer to CICS, VM/CMS or MVS/TSO.
o HLLAPI allows C language application programs to be written to
communicate with the IBM system.
Features Not Supported
For the 3278 Model 2, 3, 4, and 5 displays: test key, keyclick;
extended attributes: programmed symbols, alt character sets, multiple
partition, 16 bit addressing; encryption. For the 3287 Model 1 printer:
PA1, PA2.

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, and HP-UX system
administration.
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.

HP-UX SNAplus3270 requires previous installation of HP-UX SNAplusLink
(J2220A or J2226A) on the stand-alone or server system.
The software which the customer orders contains both the stand-alone
and client/server configuration software. During installation, the
customer chooses which configuration is required.
Upgrade options are available for Series 800 SNAplus products.
Please consult the HP 9000 price guide for details.
Note: A copy of HP-UX SNAplus3270 must be ordered for each HP-UX system
which is to communicate with the IBM mainframe through the server.
