Configuration and maintenance

The most common way to connect Rumba+ to a host is by selecting and configuring an interface from the Rumba+ display or printer. However, if you are connecting to an IBM mainframe or AS/400, there are additional tools available to you, as described in the following table:

Application	Description
APPC Configuration Utility	Provides advanced configuration options for most mainframe and AS/400 interfaces. Allows the configuration of the following APPC items: Remote and local logical units (LUs), Modes, transaction programs (TPs), CPI-C side information, and conversation security for TPs.
AS/400 Communications utility	Used primarily to configure connections for Shared Folders, Data Queues, Submit Remote Command, and AS/400 file transfers.

Use the following diagnostic tools (available with all products) to monitor and troubleshoot Rumba+ connections on your network.

Feature	Description
Trace Console	Traces and records communication sessions. Specifically: Data streams from the mainframe display and printer, AS/400 display and printer, UNIX display and HP display. SNA communications. Rumba+ display APIs, such as DDE, EHLLAPI, WinHLLAPI, EHNAPPC. Host system APIs, such as Data Queues, Shared Folders, AS/400 file transfers, and Submit Remote Command.
