This topic provides an overview of installing, setting up, and
configuring Microsoft® Host Integration Server (SNA Server).
Installing Microsoft Host Integration Server (SNA Server)
- Install Host Integration Server client
on a machine that contains the CICS® Universal Client,
which in turn communicates with the CICS server
through the Host Integration Server machine.
For information on installing and configuring Microsoft Host Integration Server and Host Integration Server clients, see
the Microsoft Host Integration Server documentation.
- To allow workstations using the Windows® SNA
Client to communicate with other systems, define the LUs used by the client
systems as Local APPC LUs to the Host Integration Server workstation.
Setting up the Host Integration Server Windows client
- On the Host Integration Server Windows client, enter
the following:
- SNA client mode
- Remote
- Primary Server
- Name of the Host Integration Server workstation
that the client systems using SNA Client will use. This computer name of the Host Integration Server is displayed
in both the Host Integration Server Admin Servers
and Connections window, and in the Network Settings control panel
dialog box.
- Run SNABASE.EXE to start the Host Integration Server Client
SnaBase. If you do not, the CICS Universal Client cannot
communicate with the Host Integration Server.
- Start the Host Integration Server Windows client.
