The communications server is an IBM product so I would have guessed that on the z/os side a guide would show me how to connect the CS as an APPN node or better yet, how I could continue to use the DLSW\CISCO connectivity already there. It's not an issue as much as it's what should I do first and how.

Also sounds like you also have some serious political issues in insisting on spending a lot of money just so you can use Windows servers. Not too sure we can be of much help. Doesn't make much business or technical sense when everything you need is available for free. Anyway, the doc you will be needing would be furnished with the Windows Communications Server V6 product and not any IBM site. That would include any and all VTAM or TCP/IP configuration options needed to make their product work. HTH and good luck (you are going to need it). -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ward, Mike S Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 12:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Communications Server Hello all, I have been tasked to move our old sna\sdlc communications controllers to a Windows communications server environment. We currently have z\os V1.7 with VTAM and TCP\IP. We will be getting Windows Communications Server V6 for the windows server that will take the place of the old LU0 controllers at remote locations. I'm not sure where to start in setting up communications from our VTAM environment to this Windows environment. We currently use DLSW and Cisco routers to do the sna/polling of the old controllers. Are there any books red or otherwise that can help me with this? I have searched the IBM site for Windows Communications server and LANDP, but I mostly get z/os communications server books there. Any help will be appreciated.
