SNACONTROL

     The SNACONTROL commands are used to manage the SNA
     (Systems Network Architecture) Link product.

SYNTAX


     SNACONTROL START;NODE=nodename
                 [;LINKTRACE[=[tracetype][,tracefile]]
                 [;NODETRACE[=tracefile]]
                 [;ERROPT=erroroption]

     SNACONTROL STATUS;NODE=nodename
                 ;LUNAME=luname
                 [;NCB][;HSCB][;ROUTE]

     SNACONTROL STOP;NODE=nodename[;TYPE=stoptype]

     SNACONTROL STOPSESS;NODE=nodename;LUNAME=luname[;TYPE=stoptype]

     SNACONTROL TRACEOFF;NODE=nodename;LINKTRACE
                 ;INTRINSIC=luname

     SNACONTROL TRACEON;NODE=nodename
                 [;LINKTRACE[=[tracetype][,tracefile]]]
                 [;INTRINSIC=luname[,tracefile]]

     SNACONTROL VERSION


PARAMETERS


START         Starts an SNA node, link-level tracing, and SNA Transport
              node tracing.

STATUS        Displays the status of a specific SNA node.

STOP          Stops an SNA node and all activity on the node.

STOPSESS      Stops an LU (Logical Unit)-LU session without
              stopping the SNA node.

TRACEOFF      Turns off link-level tracing and SNA Transport
              intrinsic tracing.

TRACEON       Turns on link-level tracing and SNA Transport
              intrinsic tracing.

VERSION       Identifies the software version of SNA Transport.
nodename      The one- to eight-character name of a configured SNA
              node.

tracetype     The type of link-level tracing to be started.
              The valid types are FULL and PARTIAL.

tracefile     The name of the disk file that is to contain the trace
              data.

erroroption   The action to be taken if SNA Transport detects an
              irrecoverable internal error.  The valid actions are SUB
              (terminate SNA Transport) and SYS (system failure).

luname        The one- to eight-character name of an LU.

stoptype      How SNA Transport is to stop the node.  The valid types
              are K (kill), P (protocol), and Q (quiesce).


OPERATION


      HP 3000 users can communicate with an IBM SNA host system by
      using the Hewlett-Packard SNA Link product and the SNA services.
      The SNA services implement the upper layers of the SNA
      architecture.  SNA Link enables the HP 3000 to be a Physical
      Unit Type 2 (PU.T2) in an IBM SNA network.  So, the lower
      layers of SNA are implemented by running the services with
      SNA Link.


EXAMPLE(S)


      To start node IBMNODE and link-level tracing, enter:

      SNACONTROL START;NODE=IBMNODE;LINKTRACE

      To determine whether the line between the host and the HP 3000
      is up, enter:

      SNACONTROL STATUS

      To stop node PU8100F, enter:

      SNACONTROL STOP;NODE=PU8100F

      To stop the LU-LU session for LU1 on node ALPHA, enter:

      SNACONTROL STOPSESS;NODE=ALPHA;LUNAME=LU1

      To turn off link-level tracing for node PU8100F, enter:

      SNACONTROL TRACEOFF;NODE=PU8100F;LINKTRACE

      To turn on full link-level tracing for the only active SNA node,
      with trace data written to file TF01, enter:

      SNACONTROL TRACEON;LINKTRACE=FULL,TF01
