Product Overview

The architecture of Microsoft Host Integration Server (HIS) comprises several key components. The SNA Server is the core component, managing SNA connections and protocol processing. The TN3270 server provides terminal emulation, allowing Windows clients to connect to mainframe applications.

2 services enable application-to-application communication. 1, and TCP/IP for TN3270 connections. The HIS Administration console is the primary interface for configuration and management.

Configuration files include the SNA Server configuration file, which stores SNA server properties, and the TN3270 server configuration file, which stores terminal emulation settings. HIS uses the Windows registry for storing configuration data and event logs for monitoring. Network requirements include ports for SNA communication and TN3270 connections.

HIS supports Windows authentication for user access and provides auditing capabilities for security monitoring. Compared to IBM's Host Integration Server, HIS offers a Windows-centric architecture with a focus on SNA protocol support.
