SNACFG Should Allow Configuration of Compression for 3270 LUs (236787)

SUMMARY

Configuring a 3270 LU to use compression can only be done using SNA Manager. Customers that rely on SNA Server's command-line utility to configure their SNA subdomain are not able to configure this parameter. There have been requests to allow that parameter to be changed using SNA Server's command-line interface.

SNA Server's command-line interface (Snacfg.exe) has been enhanced so it is now possible to configure 3270 LUs to support "Compress" and "Workstation secured."

The syntax is:

SNACFG LU luname /COMPRESSION:{ Yes | No } /WORKSTATIONSECURE:{ Yes | No }
