Migrating a system that can start AnyNet connections

Before you migrate the system to Enterprise Extender (HPRIP), make sure that the network configuration is as follows.

  • One APPC controller of type *ANYNW, with a remote control point value of TCPIP.
  • One entry on the QAPPNRMT configuration list for each remote node that defines the remote node and sets the control point name as TCPIP.
  • One entry on the TCP host table that has the suffix SNA.IBM.COM, and that has the remote SNA host name and the remote network ID with the same suffix.
  • The ALWANYNET network attribute set to *YES.
To migrate to Enterprise Extender (HPRIP), follow these steps:
  1. For each entry on the host table that has an SNA.IBM.COM suffix, create one APPC controller of the link type *HPRIP and the IP address of the remote host using the Create Controller Description (APPC) (CRTCTLAPPC) command.
  2. Delete the entry for the remote system in the QAPPNRMT configuration list using either the Remove Configuration List Entries (RMVCFGLE) or Work with Configuration Lists (WRKCFGL) (WRKCFGL CFGL(*APPNRMT)) command.
You can either keep or delete the entry on the host table.
