Re: Communications

[Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you sure the XIDs are the same.  The XID is usually generated based on
the serial number of the AS400 you are connecting to.  If the customer used
*SYSGEN on the XID on their line description, then I'm not sure how you have
a dup.  Can you get the customer to recreate the LIND w/*SYSGEN?  If you
never define the XID on a line & controller description then the system will
always figure it out.  We have over 50 other AS400s connected to our AS400
and have never run into this problem.
HTH.

What my company has been doing is asking them for their exchange id on their
line and filling it in here on the controller.  Also the controller on the
their end has our exchange id from our line.  My company wants to have a
controller and device for every customer on our AS400.  The way we have them
create the line is with the CRTLINSDLC command and the EXCHID keyword as
(*SYSGEN).  The problem is we are getting customers with the same exchange
id's.  I realize that the exchange id's must be unique the current way the
line and controllers are created but there may be a better way and I do not
know what it is.   I must be looking at the wrong area in the AS400 Redbook
softcopy library on CD because I have yet to find a way around this issue.
Suggestions?
