It should work, I've done it couple of times to communicate to remote
ATM device attached to remote AS/400 system.
I have to apologize for a mistake in my previous note. It should read
like this:
- AS/400#2 will have 3270 (LU 2) device description downstream to
AS/400#1 (configuration should be similar to what is now on AS/400#1)
- AS/400#1 will have *SNPT *UP device description upstream to AS/400#2
and *SNPT *DOWN device description downstream to remote system.
Additional trick is that of course, controller type on AS/400#1 will
have to be different - you are absolutely correct that SNPT will not
work for remote work station controller type. But this is not needed in
this case.
AS/400#2 has to think that remote controller, where 3270 device is
attached, is a remote workstation controller (so there should be a
separate controller description on AS/400#2 for AS/400#1 and it has to
be remote work station controller. AS/400 does support this type of
connection).
For AS/400#1 exact type of controller is not important as soon as it is
PU type 2.0 SNA node.
Important thing here is that these are two different things:
- controller (PU) type as it is used by SNA layer of AS/400. In
our case we need PU type 2 on both levels
- AS/400 controller type - it can be remote workstation
controller, APPC controller, finance controller etc - as it is used by
other functions on AS/400. They all can be PU type 2 controllers with
some specific characteristics.
To say it in different terms - AS/400 controller description should be
of specific type only on the AS/400 which uses remote node for some
specific purpose.
For all other AS/400s involved any PU type 2 controller will do (say
3174 or 3274 type).
Hope I did not increase confusion still more...
Best regards,
Alexei Pytel

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think using SNPT will work
with a
remote work station controller. If the case was AS/400 users or
RJE type
jobs running on the mainframe then you'd be O.K. Since this is a
batch job
I'd need to ask how it's working and what it does. If you could
switch to a
host controller and say a SNUF device you could still start the
job (on the
second AS/400) from the mainframe, but it would be the mainframe
host
controlling the session rather than the other way around.
