Question about AIX SNA Manager/6000

ITEM: RTA000068413



I'd like to know about SNA Manager/6000.                                        
                                                                                
Q1. Could you let me know about the hierarchy of submaps supplied               
    by SNA Manager/6000?                                                        
    Looking into the discussion in the "SNAMGR FORUM", its hierarchy            
    is similar to GMF views defined on S/390 NetView.                           
    But can we customize the submaps of SNA Manager/6000, like                  
    we can do on IP maps on NetView/6000? ( say, putting some routers           
    and networks into one location symbol by cut&paste...)                      
    Or do we have to finish all the hierarchy customization                     
    on NetView/390?                                                             
                                                                                
Q2. It seems we have to transfer the view data from NetView/390 to              
    SNA Manager/6000.                                                           
    But do we have to do it every time we add or delete LU or PU               
    definition? And if true, do we have to transfer whole view data,            
    or only the changed part of data?                                           
                                                                                
Q3. We can see SNA Manager's submaps and IP submaps in 1 display.               
    But is there any function to correlate SNA resources with                   
    certain IP resources? (Say, one RISC/6000 might have PUs and                
    IP addresses, but is there any standard function to know                    
    which PU co-exists with which IP node, and visa-versa?)                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                          
                                                                                
                                                                                
A1: Yes, the same customization features of nv6000 are available               
    to the SNA views.  You can even copy/paste IP and sna resources             
    into the same submap.                                                       
                                                                                
 A2: You will only need to redo PU definitions.  The LU's are dynamically       
     built.  For the PU's, you will need to RE-FTP all the views and            
     rebuild them.                                                              
                                                                                
A3: SNA/IP correlation is not done by SNA Manager/6000.                         
    There is no data available from VTAM or NetView that                        
    indicates that a SNA resource is also an IP resource,                       
    and what its IP address would be.
