Education Materials for Communications Server for Data Center Deployment

Education


Abstract

There are several good references that describe the strategy and implementation details for the SNA Modernization and Communications Server for Data Center Deployment.

Content

Education material on examples, scenarios, and strategies for implementing SNA connectivity on a distributed platform can be found in several places. This document provides links to the documents that best provide directions on implementing function with TN3270 Server, Remote API Client/Server, and Enterprise Extender with the Communications Server for Data Center Deployment. The documents referenced may mainly be platform-specific (AIX or Linux), but the information is identical across platforms in most cases. Examples of how to configure TN3270 Server using the xsnaadmin GUI are the same for AIX and Linux Communications Servers.

  • The document describing the Communications Server for Data Center Deployment, Remote API Client, and Web Admin packages:
    IBM Communications Server for Data Center Deployment V7.0
    http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/redp4998.html?Open
  • The strategy for distributed clients connecting to a data center to centralize SNA (or building a SNA cloud implementation) is provided in this reference material:
    SNA Modernization Strategy for Access Node Connectivity
    http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/redp4871.html?Open
  • A good reference on how to configure Communications Server for AIX, and Communications Server for Linux, SNA functions (TN3270 Server, Enterprise Extender, Dependent LU Requestor, ...) are described in
    IBM Communications Server for AIX, V6: New Features and Implementation Scenarios (SG24-5947)

  • A good reference on implementing Enterprise Extender and DLUR on VTAM, AIX and Linux be found at:
    Enterprise Extender Implementation Guide
