Technote T1013032 * *https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=isg3T1013032* *(Switching From DB2 Private Protocol (PP) to DRDA Protocol Question)* *… … … However SNA is no longer a strategic protocol and customers are advised to start converting their applications to TCP/IP. … ... ...* For sure, we all know that SNA is no longer the strategic network architecture. But such a statement from a major subsystem like DB2 is not negligible as such. Is there kind of a directional statement of IBM about SNA’s life cycle? *(Not a SOD/SOI kind of thing while they just have a life span of 1 to 2 years.* *Going back in time, how long did IBM carry forward the 1400 emulation in the /360 and even the /370 series?* *Another example is the migration from CICS macro-level programming style to the command-level style, who took over 10 years (1980-199x) (Command-level-only CICS being introduced in the early 1990s.))* * * Jan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
