Migration from SNA/Subarea to SNA/APPN and SNA/IP Integration

Course:  APPN
Duration:  3 Days
Level:  II
Course Summary

This practically focused class covering addresses the needs of network technicians responsible for the planning and implementation of modern SNA over IP techniques in the modern mainframe environment. This can involve migration from a SNA/VTAM Subarea network to a SNA/VTAM APPN network and lead to the implementation of Enterprise Extender. Enterprise Extender (EE) is a solution which consolidates both SNA and IP network traffic over a single networking protocol – typically IP.
