Configuring IBM Personal Communications

To configure and run IBM® Personal Communications carry out the following steps:

  1. Run SNA Node Configuration to configure SNA support.
  2. Define a node, a device, and a connection. Use an adjacent CP type of APPN Node or Back-Level LEN in the connection definition.
  3. Define the local LU, partner LU, and mode specified in the configuration file. Configure the local LU to be independent.
  4. Start the node from SNA Node Operations before starting a connection from the Client daemon to a server that uses Personal Communications.
  5. To enable ATI against CICS® client terminals, define the transaction program CRSR:
TP name

Service TP
No
Complete pathname
<install_path>\bin\cclclnt.exe

Your <install_path> must not contain spaces; use short file and directory names.
