A Moving to G-Series Systems
This appendix discusses the differences between the AM3270 and TR3271
subsystems on G-series systems and the AM3270 and TR3271 subsystems on
D-series and earlier releases.
In addition to this appendix, the following conversion information is available to help
you:
•
The MIGSCF program can automatically convert to SCF any COUP commands
entered at the TACL prompt or found within a command or an OBEY file. MIGSCF
documentation can be found in the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs or
at $SYSTEM.ZMIGSCF.MANUAL, a read-only TEDIT file.
•
From within SCF, if you enter a COUP command, SCF displays information to help
you convert the command to its SCF equivalent.
WAN Subsystem
For D-series systems, the Dynamic System Configuration Utility Program (DSC/COUP)
starts, adds, or deletes AM3270/TR3271 lines.
For G-series systems, AM3270/TR3271 lines are defined and started through SCF
from the WAN subsystem. The WAN subsystem SCF commands relevant to
AM3270/TR3271 configuration are described in the Section 4, SCF Interface to
AM3270 and TR3271. For detailed information about the functions of the WAN
subsystem, refer to the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.
For G-series systems, the WAN subsystem provides the functions that COUP and
SYSGEN provide on the D-series systems. Specifically, the WAN subsystem allows
you to:
•
Define AM3270/TR3271 lines and the modifiers that affect their operation
•
Start AM3270/TR3271 lines
•
Stop, alter, or delete AM3270/TR3271 lines
•
Monitor the AM3270/TR3271 line-handler processes and restart them if both the
primary and backup processes fail
You use the SCF interface to the WAN subsystem to perform these functions. The
WAN subsystem and the SCF interface to the WAN subsystem are described in detail
in the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.
SYSGEN-to-SCF Considerations
The System Generation (SYSGEN) program is not used for G-series systems. This
subsection explains how information that is configured in SYSGEN CONFTEXT
paragraphs on D-series systems is defined on G-series systems.
