RE: RJE over TCP/IP

Hi Mandy.
AS far as I know, you can not run RJE over TCP/IP natively......
However, I don't see any reason that you could not use anynet.  While I am
not a fan of anynet, due to its performance issues, this may be one of those
time where anynet might make some sense.  Anynet, encapsulates the SNA data
into IP so the data rides over the network as IP.  I am not much of a
mainframe person, but I assume the mainframe does anynet also?

We still are using RJE over a dial up SNA connection for a client who is
doing communications with US Customs, but we are in the process of
converting that over the MQ series over TCP/IP.

How far have you gotton on this?

Subject: RJE over TCP/IP


I have a customer with an effective and very old RJE-based AS/400-mainframe 
communication arrangement involving programs being automatically invoked 
when stuff arrives with an appropriate form type, etc. This has been doing 
brilliantly for 10 years. Their parent company wants to remove SNA from 
their WAN. I have been poking around for options for them, & have spotted, 
on the midrange-l archive, an old post about Anynet and DLUr possibly being 
an option in that it might allow them to run RJE over TCP/IP, which would 
solve the problem. The mainframe guys are prepared to do what's necessary to

accommodate any such change.
Can anyone provide me with an appropriate Web link that will allow me to 
read up on this? I once had a working knowledge of AS/400 SNA host comms, 
although I haven't thought about it for years and years, and I have a good 
knowledge of Anynet, APPC, APPN etc. on the AS/400. All help gratefully 
received!
Thanks
Mandy
