<snip> I am just now looking at this. I have a Escon CTC between my two z/OS 1.8 images. It is currently used for VTAM cross domain. I funnel my NJE traffic between the two images on this. Oh, these two images are on the same physical box. I also have IP connectivity between them via OSAs. I am considering activating a Hipersocket, which I have defined in the HCD/IODF, but not in TCPIP as yet.
Is there any reason to consider using TCPIP NJE instead of the old-fashioned VTAM NJE? Is the answer different if I implement the hipersocket connection between the two systems? </snip> JES2 NJE over IP is *much* simpler to maintain (once set up). I can't say for sure if it is faster, it is simpler. Throw in Enterprise Extender over Hipersockets, and the CTCs can Be used for setting up you base sysplex...
