You will have to configure the 3745-170 as an EP-only CCU. But you also need the BTAM code to drive the BSC-1/BSC-3 I/O devices. It may take a lot of work on your or IBM's part, but it's do-able. I do not understand why IBM did not come up with a supported HW/SW product since Bisynch communicat

MVS NFS Holding Exclusive Enqueue

Has anyone run across a situation where the MVS NFS Server retains its exclusive enqueue against an MVS data set (not a HFS file) created by one of its clients even after the client no longer use the file? NFS clients run on AIX. Because MVS NFS Server holds an exclusive enqueue, MVS batch jobs a

You're not alone. We run BTAM and EP-only 37x5's to connect to our trading partners using BSC RJE (or emulators). No matter how often we ask them to switch to IP based solutions, they always have a reason to stick with the status quo. Speaking of alternative products, I once ran Sterling Commerce'
