Hi Rob

there is no need to "rip out SNA" because Anynet is not supported.
Anynet does not equal SNA - it's just a communications configuration
option.

The conversion to EE is quite painless and simple and leaves all the
old SNA utilities intact.

Frankly if I was working on your site I'd probably want to configure
EE because I've always found the SNA utilities to be superior to the
TCP alternatives, particularly the SAVRST* commands.

yeah, we ripped out all snads awhile back.  There was only minor wailing

out when they first planned on getting rid of anynet (many releases ago).
Looked at Enterprise Extenders and decided for what little we used snads
it wasn't worth the time and effort to learn.  I am sure there are some
people who will argue it's simple.  But, hey, it took a few 2x2's to the
head for me to realize that binder language was really that easy and just
do it.

Hi Pete

Regarding Anynet on V7R1, it actually does work - we have at least two
customers where it continued working after an upgrade.

By way of clarification, I happened to read an IBM document in  just
the last few days which listed it as "Still included in i 7.1, but no
longer supported"; the document is an IBM Systems University Technical
- Budapest 3-6 May 2010 presentation in PDF format titled "p AD02
Upgrading from IBM 5.4 to IBM i 6.1 or IBM i 7.1" (sorry no URL)

Like you I thought it had been discontinued but the document above
confirmed what we had already seen.

Nevertheless, we are ripping it out as we go anyway - it's bound to
disappear at some stage.
