Troubleshooting
Problem
This document describes a restriction of ObjectConnect over IBM AnyNet.
Resolving The Problem
=============================================================================
Important Note: Starting in i 7.1, AnyNet (a method used to run SNA communications traffic
over IP) is no longer supported. Users of AnyNet are encouraged to migrate to Enterprise
Extender as a replacement.
=============================================================================
IBM ObjectConnect does not support user-defined local location names. The value as specified in network attributes for default local location must be used (DSPNETA LCLLOCNAME). If, because of the requirements of IBM AnyNet, you have defined your own location names (not matching the Network Attributes), ObjectConnect will not function correctly. ObjectConnect is working as designed. At this time there are no plans to redesign ObjectConnect to meet the AnyNet requirements.
To configure ObjectConnect to run over AnyNet, the mode QSOCCT needs to be set up and the following
communications entry in the Communications subsystem must be defined.
The Communication Entry would be defined as follows:
| Add Communications Entry (ADDCMNE) Type choices, press Enter. Subsystem description QCMN Name Library *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB Device *ALL Name, generic*, *ALL... Remote location Name Job description *USRPRF Name, *USRPRF, *SBSD Library Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB Default user profile *QUSER Name, *NONE, *SYS Mode QSOCCT Name, *ANY Maximum active jobs *NOMAX 0-1000, *NOMAX |
When the above entry is added and the communication entries are displayed (WRKSBSD QCMN, Option 5 to display and Option 8 for the communication entries) the mode QSOCCT would appear as below:
| Display Communications Entries System: RCHASLQL Subsystem description: QCMN Status: ACTIVE Job Default Max Device Mode Description Library User Active *ALL *ANY *USRPRF *SYS *NOMAX *ALL QBRM *USRPRF QBRMS *NOMAX *ALL QCASERVR *USRPRF *NONE *NOMAX *ALL QIJS *USRPRF QIJS *NOMAX *ALL QPCSUPP *USRPRF *SYS *NOMAX *ALL QSOCCT *USRPRF QUSER *NOMAX *APPC QADSM *USRPRF QADSM *NOMAX *APPC QSERVER *USRPRF *NONE 0 *APPC QSOCCT *USRPRF QUSER *NOMAX |
Once the communications entry is added, the normal process should be followed for configuring AnyNet. For AnyNet configuration, refer to DCF Technote N1017530.
