Rob P,

1)  I used to reply to old messages to start a new one.  However it looks 
really crummy in the archives.  Also, don't do a reply with history to 
start a new thread - really confusing.

2)  There is an IBMer that contributes to this list that also peddles IBM 
education.  Perhaps he can suggest a curriculum.

3)  There are many tools available on the iSeries that are the same on 
other platforms.  Such as PING.  So, I would start getting in the habit of 
using the platform independent name like ping instead of the iSeries name 
VFYTCPCNN.  In fact, IBM should be chided for coming out with the standard 
3 letter abbreviation for a platform independent command like that.  In 
the long run, that's a disservice.

4)  Start out with TCP, then HTTP.  Save APPC for your spare time.  Yes, 
it has it's pro's, but people doing new development are more likely to 
write a check than someone who is stagnant and the new stuff is going into 
TCP/IP.

5)  The IBM manuals are available on line at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/infocenter.html
A good place to get started might be:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/rzahg400comm.htm

HI I am looking into what skills and knowledge is required to be a Comm. 
analyst who would resolve problems that customers are having connecting to 
a AS/400 application. The platforms that the customers use are either 
AS/400 (50%), or anything else, using TCP/IP, APPC, and some HTTP. I am 
looking for source info on how to resolve typical problems, in fact, what 
would be typical problems, and how do they get resolved?
 
Thanks,
 
Rob
