Hello
Today we have an IBM MP3000 with 04 WAC cards, 03 of them running BSC3
and on running a back-to-back vtam connection.
We have a bid to replace this machine by a new z9 and get some software
advantages. Today we have no problems with CPU or memory bottlenecks.
Ou problem is limited to substitute access from WAC cards, so we can
keep BSC3 lines sending data to application program.
Simple solution could be an IBM 3745 model 170 (smalest) to keep same
cenario and migrate from adapter cards to a channel independent machine,
even connect thru Escon converter. IBM says no more NCP software
licenses are available.
What we can use as a substitute for WAC cards now how to connect this
solution to z9?
Thanks in advance for any comment or hint
