7034.0. "tcp/ip in APPC for OPENVMS" by TAV02::SHEFTEL () Thu Mar 06 1997 02:03

    Hi,
    
    In the spd of SNA/APPC LU6.2 for OpenVMS it is mentioned that TCP/IP is
    supported transport. 
    
    Is there any documentation that explains how to set it?
    
    Thanks

7034.2It's in there.DELNI::BARBER_MINGOLet me DANCE for youThu Mar 06 1997 13:4511
    Hi,
    	It's in the book, but you may wish to ignore the port logical
    description.  That part's not accurate.
    
    You can either limit the transport through  logicals, or try
    specifying an ipname (peer.server.dec.com) for the node name.
    
    For the most part, they use port number 108.
    
    Have fun,
    Cindi
7034.3Slight clarificationEDSCLU::PORCAROFri Mar 07 1997 09:3521
    I wish to amend slightly what Cindi stated in the last
    reply.
    
    >>>For the most part, they use port number 108.
    
    All Digital Gateway Access Servers (GAS) listen for connections
    over the TCP transport at port # 108.
    
    The OpenVMS products that were recently released, described
    (incorrectly) the use of a TCP port logical name that allows
    an access routine to override port 108.
    
    I have removed this logical name from the release notes in ECO-01
    of these products (we are shipping now).
    
    That logical should be documented correctly and ONLY in the 3270
    Services Docs. to allow the access routines to connect to 3270
    Services directly (no gateway) for testing and or development of
    a 3270AS application.

    Hi,
    
    Thanks for answering.
    
    From the documentation and this note I can understand that the only logical
    that should be defined is SNA_TRANSPORT_ORDER.
    
    If it doesn't work would it be because /etc/services entry 108 is not
    defined o.k.? Might be other reasons ?
    
    Thanks

7034.5Are you in the right notesfile?EDSCLU::GARRODIBM Interconnect EngineeringMon Mar 10 1997 09:239
    No it doesn't have to be defined in /etc/services.
    
    What exactly is the problem?
    
    By the way is just is more than just an inquiry on product
    functionality you should be putting the question in
    SMAUG::IBM_IC_SUPPORT ie if you are having a product problem.

7034.6Non specific yetTAV02::SHEFTELMon Mar 10 1997 14:557
    Dave,
    
    I will if I'll have specific problem that I can state. By now I'm not
    sure if it's usage or more then that.
    
    Thanks

    Hi,
    	Define sna_transport_order nodecnet should do it for you.
