HEWLETT-PACKARD Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: HP SNA Printer Emulator SPD 26.70.11 for OpenVMS, Version 1.6 This SPD describes HP SNA Printer Emulator for OpenVMS, which is avail- able for the OpenVMS I64, OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX platforms. All information applies to all platforms unless otherwise indicated. DESCRIPTION HP SNA Printer Emulator for OpenVMS (PrE) is an OpenVMS layered soft- ware product that allows suitably configured OpenVMS systems to re- ceive printable data from IBM host-based applications. These appli- cations will originally have been developed to produce output for an IBM 3287 printer in system mode that is connected to an IBM 3274 clus- ter controller in a Systems Network Architecture (SNA) networking en- vironment. Access from the IBM system to OpenVMS systems is via one of the following SNA servers or gateways: TCP/IP or DECnet Connections o HP SNA Peer Server o HP SNA Domain Gateway o HP SNA Access Server for Windows NT® o HP SNA Server for OpenVMS Alpha, a layered product that supports local access as well as TCP/IP and DECnet clients DECnet Only Connections o HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport o HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Channel Transport December 2006 HP SNA Printer Emulator SPD 26.70.11 for OpenVMS, Version 1.6 o HP SNA Server for OpenVMS VAX, an OpenVMS VAX layered product that supports local access as well as remote DECnet clients In an actual IBM 3287 environment, data transfer is one way (from host to printer) and generates hard copy. The PrE Access software will al- low OpenVMS users to direct the received output either to be printed via the OpenVMS Print Symbiont or spooled to a disk file. Features The following is a summary of functions provided by PrE: o PrE is configured and controlled via a HP Digital Command Language (DCL) style interface for ease of use. o PrE can accept data in SNA Character String (SCS) format (LU type 1) and 3270 Data Stream format (LU type 3). o PrE recognizes the following 3270 Data Stream orders: CR - Carriage Return DUP - Duplicate (converted to a semicolon) EM - End Message EUA - Erase Unprotected to Address FF - Form-feed FM - Field Mark (converted to an asterisk) GE - Graphics Escape (converted to a hyphen) NL - Newline PT - Program Tab RA - Repeat to Address SBA - Set Buffer Address SF - Start Fields o PrE supports the following 3270 Data Stream commands: WRITE ERASE/WRITE ERASE/WRITE ALTERNATE ERASE ALL UNPROTECTED 2 HP SNA Printer Emulator SPD 26.70.11 for OpenVMS, Version 1.6 o PrE will recognize the following SNA Character String orders: BS - Backspace CR - Carriage Return FF - Form-feed GE - Graphics Escape (converted to a hyphen) HT - Horizontal Tab IRS - Inter Record Separator LF - Linefeed NL - Newline SHF - Set Horizontal Format SVF - Set Vertical Format TRN - Transparency VCS - Vertical Channel Select VT - Vertical Tab o PrE accepts but ignores the following SNA Character String orders: BEL - Bell ENP - Enable Presentation INP - Inhibit Presentation SLD - Set Line Density o PrE supports the 3287 printer Program Attention (PA1 and PA2) keys and the CANCEL PRINT key using commands entered at the user inter- face. o PrE does not support the Printer Authorization Matrix feature, and it does not emulate the 3287's REPRINT key function. o PrE supports 1 to 255 copies of the print job to be printed. o PrE supports a maximum of 250 sessions simultaneously. o PrE supports the ability to submit a print job for another user. The print job will run exactly as if that user submitted the re- quest. Accounting information is logged to that user's account. The user name string can be 1 to 12 characters in length and should be a valid user name on the system. 3 HP SNA Printer Emulator SPD 26.70.11 for OpenVMS, Version 1.6 o PrE supports multiple form types. The form type is specified by us- ing either a numeric value or a form name. These form types can re- fer to the print image width, length, or type of paper. Codes for these form types are installation defined. o PrE supports the ability to change queue name, forms, number, num- ber of copies, user name, and choice of deleting the output stream files without stopping the session. o PrE supports the deletion of output files that are spooled to print- ers as a user-selectable setting. o PrE provides an option to send an INIT SELF request to the IBM ap- plication. o PrE supports LU security through the ability to specify a password for providing additional security to access the LU. This feature is supported in the HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Trans- port, the HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Channel Transport, the HP SNA Domain Gateway, the HP SNA Access Server for Windows NT, and the HP SNA Server for OpenVMS products. INSTALLATION Only experienced customers should attempt installation of this prod- uct. Installation services from HP are recommended for all other cus- tomers. These services provide for installation of the software prod- uct by an experienced software specialist.
