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 Transaction Gateway, 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 Transaction Gateway cannot communicate
with the Host Integration Server.
- Start the Host Integration Server Windows client.
