I don't know what you mean by is it supported. A couple of years ago, we converted our 3400 stores from SNA to TCPIP. We still have the majority of our network tasks isolated to our 2 CMC lpars. So I would say the answer is "Yes". The main reason is what was mentioned earlier.
It runs separate from all other work so it cannot impact them in the event of an issue. More importantly, it won't be affected by other work. It's a focal point for all network traffic -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 8:00 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: TCP/IP and CMC? ... >When you use TCP/IP on the mainframe is a CMC still required? No. My understanding of CMC is a seperate LPAR to front-end communications. ... I'm sorry. I asked the wrong question in my frustration with trying the get to the answer. Of course, a CMC is never 'required'. But, is it supported in a TCP/IP environment. Management's goal is to get rid of SNA. Will we still be able to use a CMC? (That was my original [as yet, unanswered] question) Also, where is CMC management/support/etc documented? -teD In God we Trust! All others bring data! -- W.
