Removal of commands and support for DDI, Token-Ring, Wireless, Frame Relay, SDLC, TDLC, and X.25 protocols

Software support for DDI, Token-Ring, Wireless, Frame Relay, SDLC, TDLC, and X.25 protocols is formally being removed. Hardware support for these protocols was withdrawn in prior releases.

These CL configuration commands to create and change line descriptions for DDI, FAX, Token-Ring, Wireless, Frame Relay, SDLC, TDLC and X.25 protocols have been removed in IBM® i 7.4:
  • Create Line Desc (DDI) (CRTLINDDI)
  • Create Line Desc (Frame Relay) (CRTLINFR)
  • Create Line Desc (SDLC) (CRTLINSDLC)
  • Create Line Desc (TDLC) (CRTLINTDLC)
  • Create Line Desc (Token-Ring) (CRTLINTRN)
  • Create Line Desc (Wireless) (CRTLINWLS)
  • Create Line Desc (X.25) (CRTLINX25)
  • Change Line Desc (DDI) (CHGLINDDI)
  • Change Line Desc (Frame Relay) (CHGLINFR)
  • Change Line Desc (SDLC) (CHGLINSDLC)
  • Change Line Desc (TDLC) (CHGLINTDLC)
  • Change Line Desc (Token-Ring) (CHGLINTRN)
  • Change Line Desc (X.25) (CHGLINX25)

Any existing CL programs that use these commands might need to be modified.

Existing configuration objects for these types cannot be used and should be removed using the corresponding Delete description CL command.
  • Delete Controller Description (DLTCTLD)
  • Delete Device Description (DLTDEVD)
