Migrating to Enterprise Extender with the existing AnyNet definitions maintained

It is possible to migrate to Enterprise Extender while keeping the existing AnyNet® definitions, but a new remote logical unit (LU) must be defined to handle AnyNet connections.

The following example explains how this is done.

For this example, assume that you have two systems: SYSA and SYSB. SYSA has the following configuration:
  • 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.

When migrating from AnyNet to Enterprise Extender (HPRIP), you must create new LUs on SYSB and SYSA. In this example, the new LUs are called ANYSYSA and ANYSYSB.

To migrate from AnyNet to Enterprise Extender (HPRIP), follow these steps:

  1. On SYSA, use one of the following procedures:
    • If the QAPPNLCL configuration list has not been created on SYSA, create the new LU using the following command: CRTCFGL TYPE(*APPNLCL) APPNLCLE((ANYSYSA 'New AnyNet LU'))
    • If the QAPPNLCL configuration list already exists, then use this command: CHGCFGL TYPE(*APPNLCL) APPNLCLE((ANYSYSA 'New AnyNet LU'))
  2. On SYSA, change the configuration list entries for the remote system.
    1. Add the new remote LU to the configuration list with the following CL command: ADDCFGLE TYPE(*APPNRMT) APPNRMTE((ANYSYSB *NETATR ANYSYSA TCPIP *NETATR))
    2. Remove the SYSB entry from the configuration list using this command: RMVCFGLE TYPE(*APPNRMT) APPNRMTE((SYSB *NETATR SYSA))
  3. On SYSB, issue the equivalent commands.
  4. Create controllers for SYSB on SYSA and create controllers for SYSA on SYSB using the Create Controller Description (APPC) (CRTCTLAPPC) command with the LINKTYPE parameter set to *HPRIP.
After you complete these steps, you are able to start sessions to LU SYSB, with Enterprise Extender as the communications media. For AnyNet communications, ANYSYSB LU is used.
