Re: Client Access environments

CA Express has only one environment, TCP/IP, Period!  All systems are connect 
via TCP/IP.  How you connect TCP/IP to the network in of no concern for CA 
Express.  The old SNA way needed to know how to route/connect to your AS400, 
there for you had multiple environments.  What were the differences between 
your primary and DSS environments under CA?  Was one via SNA over your LAN and 
the other TCP/IP remote dial up?  Any how that does not matter.  The APIs are a 
little different for CA Express and CA 3.2.  Perhaps you could not use the same 
API for CA Express as you did for CA.  What I do know, IMHO, is that CA Express 
is faster and more efficient for the client and network than the old CA was.  
Even if you used TCP/IP only for CA 3.2.

Subject: Client Access environments


Hi All,

I finally got a VB 6.0 program to successfully read and write to a data
queue on an AS/400. In order to do this, I switched from Client Access to CA
Express.

When I had CA installed, I had a Primary Environment, and a DSS environment.
When I installed CA Express, these are now managed by Ops Nav. I see the DSS
environment, but no Primary Environment, just "My AS/400 Connections".

The VB program, through no fault of my own, uses the DSS environment.  When
I cloned the program and try to make it into CGI, it uses the non-existent
"Primary Environment", which btw had no systems in it.

Questions:

1) is there any way to have the VB program select the CA environment?

2) if the answer to 1) is no, how do I create the "Primary Environment" it's
using? I've already tried creating one and adding a system to it, but it
doesn't show up in the SystemNames object.  I also tried renaming the "DSS"
environment to "Primary Environment" after which it promptly lost 6 of the 9
systems I had defined.

TIA,
