Perhaps I need to explain further. To put your fears at rest, our 3745 is alive and well. We have several other AS400's defined and still functioning through the 3745. They are all defined as SWNET type applications. Even the AS400 which is being replaced is still defined there, however it is/has been/will be replaced. I think we defined these SWNET appls about 10 years ago. I may have defined them myself, maybe not. Anyway, it's been awhile.
Be that as it may, I was given the task to allow access to the new AS400 and was only given an ip address in the form of n.n.n.n as an identifier. What I think I need to do is define this new AS400 using the IP address in some fashion instead of CPNAME. Not really sure about this but I was hoping to get some pointers. As far as Anynet and MTPN go, no we do not use that, AFAICT. Are there any questions that I need to ask the originator of this request? Bear in mind, he or she is probably PC computer knowledgeable but probably not mainframe knowledgeable. Thanks for your reply.
