RE: Re[2]: ICF Programming Snafu's! I Don't want to EVOKE!

[Bob Crothers <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

Actually, to be honest, it doesn't much matter to me anyway.  We are 
moving all of our stuff over to TCP/IP....and there is no evoke in 
that.  You must have a "server" job active and running that is just 
waiting for a connection request.

The only form of ICF files I've used has been APPC....and that has 
always been between the AS/400 and PC worlds.  Doing the evoke was not 
a problem for me so I never worried about getting rid of it.

Bob

     Actually, on retrospect I see we're doing BSCEL via ICF at this
     location. I'm pretty sure I've tested a sample pgm using APPC via 
     ICF without using EVOKE. It was some time ago, testing *Intra
     communications. I'm almost certain that EVOKE is optional.

     As I recall, the test was for a oen-way data transfer on a 
dial-up
     connection. We were receiving data from S36, basic conversation. 
We
     were not using BSC. That's all I can remember out of hand.....
     Perhaps my memory has played me false.

     Eric

Eric,

Using APPC w/ICF, is this possible?  I always thought you had to do
the EVOKE.  In fact, that is how I've done many APPC programs.

How do you indicate what you want to connect to?

     Andrew,

     I'm not exactly sure I understand.... is it something like:

     1> AS400 (sys a) always runs a comm job that just waits for
     connection (ICFW or BSCW).

     2> AS400 (sys b) dialing into sysA for testing. As soon as
     connection is established, pgms start talking.

     3> Tandem (sys c) dialing in to sysA for production. like above.


     A waiting for connection
     B or C dialing A
     Connect
     B-->A  (send request) pgm to pgm
     A-->B  (send reply)   pgm to pgm
     Disconnect
     A waiting for connection

     Evoke is not necessary. Just have the comm job active on Sys A,
and
     it will just wait for a valid connection to begin. If this is the 
     scenario, I might be able to provide you with samples. Contact me

I'm trying to simulate connection to a mainframe via an ICF file using 
two AS/400's , and I'm running into a problem in getting the two
AS/400
to chat with one another.  I want to blind transmit information sent
over the ICF to the receiving AS/400 end, and reply using the program
that is sitting and waiting for a communication that would normally be 
to a mainframe (tandom..).  So far, I've run into the snafu that I
have
to evoke the receiving end from the transmitting AS/400 end.  In
reality, I don't want to evoke, and I want the other end just to
startup, and answer messages sent by the mainframe.  Any clues as to
what I do?
