Setting Up the Client
Summary: The third task in the APPC configuration process requires you to set up the
client for the Database Administration products.
Before You Begin
Before you set up the client, be sure that you completed the steps in “Setting
Up the SNA Gateway Server” on page 4-37.
To Set Up the Client
Step 1 Install the Microsoft SNA Client on the user’s PC.
The client requires the Microsoft Windows 95/98 or Windows NT SNA
Client. You will need to know about the SNA Gateway Server to supply the
SNA Client with information about the particular transport protocol to be
used, as well as the Domain setting and Primary Server name.
Step 2 Configure the APPC SNA host.
To install and configure the client for an SNA host session you must use the
host configuration tool.
Once the client has been installed on the user’s PC, you must use the session
configuration tool to configure a host system and session profile. Within the
host system configuration section, a selection for APPC SNA is provided.
Several installation parameters are provided to complete the host
configuration. The CPI-C Symbolic Destination Name for APPC services,
defined previously in the SNA Gateway Server, is (in most cases) the only
parameter that is necessary to identify the MVS Server. However, additional
parameters can be used to selectively override the site information
table—CPI-C Symbolic Destination Name table—defined on the SNA
Gateway Server. Table 4-5 on page 4-42 describes these installation
parameters.
