4.6.2 Components of APA-Module LU 6.2
The software package for printing via APA LU 6.2 consists of four components.
The table below briefly explains the functions of each component:
4.6.3 LU6.2 Connection Status
The LU 6.2 Status display component is accessible via the Explorer tree and informs users
of the current status of the connection with the MVS host (from which the print jobs origi-
nate) and the APA-Module (which receives the print jobs for further processing).
It can be activated by opening the PRISMAproduction Explorer and double-clicking ’LU6.2’.
An applet is opened, containing a menu bar, a toolbar and all defined LU6.2 printers in your
cluster:

SNA2TCP Using the communication services provided by SNAP-IX, SNA2TCP estab-
lishes the link between the IBM host and the APA-Module print server appli-
cations.
SPS-ID This component receives the data from sna2tcp via a TCP port. This enables
this port to run on several servers. It converts the incoming IPDS data to an
internal format and creates a spool entry for each job.
