Server-to-server links on UNIX, Linux, and Windows

For verifying a server-to-server verification, the communication links between the two systems must be checked. Before you can do the verification, you must ensure that the communications protocol is installed and configured on both systems.

The examples used in the verification tasks listed in this topic for UNIX, Linux®, and Windows use TCP/IP.

The various communication protocols used by the supported platforms are as follows.
[UNIX]UNIX
[UNIX]IBM® MQ supports both TCP and SNA. If you do not use TCP, see Setting up communication on UNIX and Linux systems.
[Linux]Linux
[Linux] IBM MQ for Linux supports TCP on all Linux platforms. On x86 platforms and Power platforms, SNA is also supported. If you want to use the SNA LU6.2 support on these platforms, you need the IBM Communications Server for Linux 6.2. The Communications Server is available as a PRPQ product from IBM. For more details, see Communications Server.

If you do not use TCP, see Setting up communication on UNIX and Linux systems.

[Windows]Windows
[Windows]IBM MQ for Windows supports TCP, SNA, NetBios, and SPX. If you do not use TCP, see Setting up communication for Windows .
