[list.ibmtcp-l] SHARE TCP/IP requirements

Don Smith <SMITH@GECRDVM1.bitnet> (02/22/90)

Title:
 TCP/IP SNALINK sessions fail to RE-AQUIRE
Requirement:
 The IBM VM and MVS VTAM SNALINK sessions should re-establish
after either partner is IPL'ed.
Justification:
 TCP/IP production level service goals cannot be achieved without the
re-establishment of the VTAM SNALINK sessions after either SNALINK
partner machine is cycled. Currently the SNALINK logic does not
reaquire the sessions. The IPL of both SNALINK IUCV address spaces and
the cycle of each VTAM majnode is required to re-establish the SNALINK.
 This manual method of reconnecting the VTAM network does not bode well
in large IBM production shops.

Title:
 TCP/IP (FAL) TELNET LOGAPPL function
Requirement:
TCP/IP VM (FAL) should provide TELNET LOGAPPL capability.
Justification:
 The IBM TCP/IP (FAL) product should provide SAA compliance with the
VTAM SNA environments. The IBM MVS TCP/IP product currently provides
TELNET LOGAPPL function, as it should. IBM should provide the same
capabilities in both VM and MVS TCP/IP products.

The software already does this. Have you installed the MVS TCP/IP PTF tape?
Perhaps you have a VTAM problem, not a TCP/IP problem.
