SNA over IP

We are cuurently using SNA as protocol between two AS/400 systems on two locations. We are now using a leased line connecting the tow systems, but we will have to migrate to a network connection. The network only supports TCP/IP so we will have to use SNA over IP (AnyNet/400).

I want to test the new connection before terminating the leased line, so I have configured an AnyNet connection as is described in the books:
- CHGNETA ALWANYNET(*YES)
- CRTCTLAPPC *ANYNW
- WRKCFGL *APPNRMT

All seems OK: the job in QSYSWRK is active, the port (NETSTAT 3 APPCove) is active. the controller and the device become active/ Yet, when I STRPASTHR rmtloctcp, this fails with a sense code.

Is this because the RMTLOCNAME is still used in the old SNA config and is it therefore not possible to use concurrently SNA and SNA over IP to the same remote system? What am I doing wrong?

Your old RMTLOCNAME shouldn't matter, especially if you vary off the old
line. The sense code is important in that it will tell you exactly what it's
problem is. Find your SNA Formats manual for a description of the sense
code.

Hope this helps.

Have you created a config list: CRTCFGL TYPE(*APPNRMT) ?

Yes, change the RMTLOCNAME in the old config. Had the same problem once.

If memory serves me I think you need to make sure there are some faux
IP address' assigned to the appcove jobs. The info was documented in
the TCPIP book that came with the system or the CA for anynet. I may
alos have a document that details how to get a workstation to attach
using APPCoverIP. Pleas elet me know if that would be of value and I
will e-mail it to you!

Hi Rob

On the two AS400 you need an entry in the TCPIP hosts table.
You will have to give the IP address for the following hostname :

RMTNETID.RMTLOCNAME.SNA.IBM.COM

RMTNETID and RMTLOCNAME are the ones of your APPC device and SNA.IBM.COM
is "hard-coded".

That we cannot do. We are stil using the old config. I was just testing ...

Thanks for your response. We can't vary off the old controller as we are still using it. I was testing what to do en how to do if we are going to use SNA over IP.

I will come back with the SNA sense code.

Yes. And added a line for the remote system. It is there that you cab't use the same RMTLOCNAME.

another thing is to watch for the port (331) that Anynet uses. I had anynet
working fine once and another machine was hooked up and configured the same
but wouldn't work. I found out the fire wall between the networks were
passing the port on one machine and blocking it on the other.

Darn near went nuts tring to figure the problem out.

The remote location in the config list is the short name in the TCP/IP
Host Table Entries that points at the remote IP address. It can be
anything you want it to be, as long as it is in the host table and has
the remote IP address in it.
