You must define SNA resources to the TPF system for the TPF system to
communicate with them. You can define SNA resources to the TPF system
using the following:
- Offline ACF/SNA table generation (OSTG) program
- ZNDYN ADD command
- Dynamic LU support.
Define the SNA resources as follows:
- Use the OSTG program to define the local resources, such as TPF
applications
and system services control points (SSCPs).
- Note:
- When you define the local applications to the TPF system, you must use the
application name table (ANT) deck, which is generated by the MSGRTA macros, as
input to OSTG.
- Use the OSTG program to define the shared printers.
- Use the OSTG program or the ZNDYN ADD command to define the following
remote resources:
- Cross-domain resource manager (CDRM) resources
- Channel-to-channel (CTC) resources
- Network control program (NCP) resources.
- If the TPF system is running in low entry networking (LEN) mode, use the
OSTG program to define the adjacent link
station (ALS) resources.
Otherwise, if the TPF system is running in APPN mode, you can also use the
ZNDYN ADD command or dynamic LU support, as well as the OSTG program, to
define the ALS resources.
- Note:
- LEN mode or APPN mode is specified using the ZNAPN command.
- Use the OSTG program or dynamic LU support to define
the remote LU resources.
