Configuring Microsoft Host Integration Server (SNA Server)

This topic provides an overview of installing, setting up, and configuring Microsoft Host Integration Server (SNA Server).

Installing Microsoft Host Integration Server (SNA Server)

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Start the Host Integration Server Windows client.

Configuration documentation

More information on connecting CICS Transaction Gateway to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, using Host Integration Server, is in CICS Transaction Gateway V5 The WebSphere® Connector for CICS.
