QUESTION:
Does SNA Services/6000 support CPI-C? What are the major differences
between SNA Services/6000 and SNA Server/6000?
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
A: Yes, SNA Services/6000 v1.2 provides a CPI-C API (Application
Programming Interface). The CPI-C API is provided by a PTF
you can obtain from IBM Software Services.
There are several significant differences between SNA Services/6000
and SNA Server/6000.
SNA Services SNA Server
------------ ----------
LEN node capability END node and NETWORK node capability
limited APPN capability full APPN capability
separate LU0 support integrated LU0 support
one link at a time multiple concurrent links with
remote hosts
no control over sessions session control capabilities
For more information on the differences between these two
products, as well as the capabilities of SNA Server/6000, I
recommend "A Guided Tour of SNA Server/6000 Version 2.1"
(GG24-4189-00). You may also want to obtain the AIXSNA PACKAGE
on the MKTTOOLS disk. Finally, you may want to review FLASH
document ID G010582 entitled "DSSC FLASH 4011 SNA SERVER/6000
MIGRATION GUIDE".
