Re: snads support

What must be realized is that some people consider anything old to be /legacy/ and not worth using, so those are not good reasons ;-)

FWiW, even those who have never used SNA/DS could find some value in what is provided. Not everything that TCP/IP features offer supplants or even eclipses [both in capabilities and implementation aspects; e.g. no pesky credentials to supply] what SNA offers. Some commands plus a description:

SBMNETJOB Submit Network Job
SNDNETF Send Network File
SNDNETMSG Send Network Message
SNDNETSPLF Send Network Spooled File
SNDDST Send Distribution

Rob, Nice summary. Extender is indeed easy to set up but there are
very few if any good reasons to run SNA anymore. Unless you have a
really old piece of software that requires it, I can't think of a
reason for it.

Yes, SNADS does still work. However, one of the recent MTU's say
you have to migrate from "anynet" to "enterprise extenders". I've
been told that setting up Enterprise Extenders takes about 5
minutes from those who do it on a daily basis. These are the
same people who can tell you how to switch from LAN Console to
HMC in their sleep.

Here, we just shut down snads.

You can read the knowledge base for setting up enterprise
extenders.
