Establishing a session using Communications Server for AIX

 

Verify the level of Communications Server software you have installed by entering the AIX command:

lslpp -h sna.rte

The level displayed in the response needs to be at least V5.0.

To update the SNA configuration profile, we need root authority. (Without root authority we can display options and appear to modify them, but cannot actually make any changes.) We can make configuration changes when SNA is either active or inactive.

The configuration scenario that follows was accomplished using the graphical interface.

The setup used is APPN using independent LUs.

If you are an experienced user of AIX, you may choose to circumvent the panels and use the command-line interface. Refer to the SNA Server for AIX Configuration Reference manual to see the commands that correspond to the panels illustrated.

Throughout the following example, only the panels for profiles that must be added or updated are shown.

• Configuring your node
  

• Configuring connectivity to the network
  

• Defining a local LU
  

• Defining a transaction program
