Administration Guide

Who Should Use This Book

This book is intended for System Administrators and application programmers who use CS/AIX.

System Administrators

System Administrators install CS/AIX, configure the system for network connection, and maintain the system. They should be familiar with workstations and with the AIX operating system. They must also be knowledgeable about the network to which the system is connected and understand SNA concepts in general.

Application programmers

Application programmers design and code transaction and application programs that use the CS/AIX programming interfaces to send and receive data over an SNA network. They should be thoroughly familiar with SNA, the remote program with which the transaction or application program communicates, and the AIX operating system programming and operating environments.

More detailed information about writing application programs is provided in the manual for each API or (for back-level APIs) in Communications Server for AIX Transaction Program Reference V4R2 (SC31-8212). For additional information about CS/AIX publications, see the Bibliography.
