Re: SNA usage and ObjectConnect

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

The replacement for Anynet is Enterprise Extender..

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/topic/rzajt/rzajtentext.htm?tocNode=toc:rzahg/i5os/10/3/0/4/2/5/

"Enterprise Extender is a networking architecture that allows Systems
Network Architecture (SNA) applications to run over IP networks using
High Performance Routing (HPR).

Enterprise Extender is the preferred way to run SNA applications over
IP networks with communications input/output adapters (IOAs), such as
Gigabit Ethernet, because these IOAs do not require an input/output
processor (IOP). Communications adapters that do not use an IOP do not
support SNA. Therefore, Enterprise Extender is required to run SNA
over these adapters. It is recommends that Enterprise Extender be used
in place of AnyNet®."

HTH,
Charles
