Configuring VTAM and SNA Communication Parameters

Successful configuration of the LU6.2 server transport requires correct configuration of the components in the SNA network. You need certain information from the configurations of CICS, VTAM, supporting SNA Network components, and other server components. You need to be familiar with configuration tasks of the products that provide the SNA support to the Client Manager.

Note: See the CA Gen Technical Requirements guide for a list of third-party products offering SNA supported for use with the Client Manager.

To establish communications between the Client Manager and the target server, you need to obtain parameters related to the z/OS SNA environment. For a z/OS CICS target server, these parameters are found in the VTAM and NCP configurations. This includes:

Specific instructions for setting VTAM, NCP, and CICS parameters can be found in your IBM documentation associated with the third-party SNA product.
