Migration from AnyNet to Enterprise Extender
IBM® recommends that Enterprise Extender be used in place of AnyNet®. To do the
conversion, you have to migrate existing AnyNet configurations to the HPRIP controllers.
The following should be taken into account:
- While AnyNet can handle several remote links with only one controller, Enterprise
Extender needs one HPRIP controller for each remote node that has a direct
link. A new controller description must be created for each remote node that
is being migrated from AnyNet.
- AnyNet provided low-entry networking (LEN) functions, and not full APPN
support. Enterprise Extender HPRIP controller provides full APPN functions.
Remote definitions on the configuration lists need to be deleted.
- TCP host definition entries are no longer required for Enterprise Extender
because the mapping is done in the controller definition.
- AnyNet and Enterprise Extender can coexist, and there can even be parallel
configurations of AnyNet and Enterprise Extender during the migrations.
