Example: Connect a server to a System/36

This example uses Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) to connect your server to a System/36™ system.

Because all the examples use the same token-ring line description, this example discusses only the controller and device descriptions. On the remote system, the System/36 administrator must configure an APPC-subsystem member and a token-ring-line member to connect to your system.

The controller and device descriptions must disable Advanced Peer-to-Peer Network (APPN) and not use remote IDs by using the APPN and RMTNETID parameters like this:

CRTCTLAPPC CTLD(CTL_36) LINKTYPE(*LAN) APPN(*NO)
           SWTLINLST(TOKENRING1) RMTNETID(*NONE) EXCHID(03E00000)
           ADPTADR(400000004002)
           TEXT('APPC controller description describing System/36')

CRTDEVAPPC DEVD(DEV_36) RMTLOCNAME(SYSTEM36) RMTNETID(*NONE)
           MODE(BLANK) APPN(*NO)
