Kind of a weird question I know, but ... it has been a day full of
weird
questions.
A customer would like to know if they can open a TN3270 session *from*
one z/OS host, to another z/OS host?
Certainly. I'm typing this in one right now.
I do not believe this is possible. For a start, you cannot have 2
SSCPs
in the same Domain; so how can you have a Dependent LU?. Besides,
there
is no TN3270 client (AFAIK) for z/OS. However my customer - not on the
face of it, a fool - sincerely believes that this is what he is doing,
today.
So who is right? Can I open a TN session to a host in another
domain???
He is. The IBM TELNET application is a tn3270 client. VTAM doesn't
really affect this because the connection will pass through the IP stack
and it's the other z/OS system's problem to get the right LU assigned,
etc.
