It's not dead. While support of direct SNA will be dropped; you could still use SNA applications via the yet to be released "Enterprise Extender for iSeries" product. >From what I've read the Enterprise Extender product has been popular on the >mainframe side for a while now, and will be ported to the iSeries for those >unable to modify/replace their SNA applications. "The second option to consider for migrating from an SNA to a TCP/IP based infrastructure is Enterprise Extender technology. Enterprise Extender is a protocol that allows SNA application data to be transported across a TCP/IP network, without changing the existing SNA applications. Enterprise Extender is also commonly referred to as High Performance Routing over Internet Protocol (HPR over IP) support." http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/v5r3suggested_alternatives.html HTH, Charles Wilt iSeries Systems Administrator / Developer Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America ph: 513-573-4343 fax: 513-398-1121 > -----Original Message----- > From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of rob@xxxxxxxxx > Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 9:40 AM > To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Death of SNA? > > > http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc/.6b24cce2 > > Claims that the release after V5R3 will be the last to support SNA. > > Confirmation from IBM: > http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/ futuresftwr.html http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/nav.html Items affected: SNDNETF SNDNETMSG SNDNETSPLF etc. Rob Berendt -- Group Dekko Services, LLC Dept 01.073 PO Box 2000 Dock 108 6928N 400E Kendallville, IN 46755 http://www.dekko.com -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
