The MVS/VM bridge provides support to allow the movement of mail and files to
and from a zSeries host system (VM PROFS® and RSCS) using the
bisynchronous (BSC) protocol or Systems Network Architecture (SNA) over
Synchronous Datalink Control (SDLC) lines, over an X.25 network, or over an
IBM Token-Ring Network. SDLC and X.25 lines can connect through an X.21
interface. This support also includes direct connection to VM/RSCS or MVS
using JES2 or JES3. Other operating systems can be reached indirectly through
the RSCS or JES network including DOS/VSE using VSE/POWER. Other
iSeries, System/36s, and System/38s that are connected to an iSeries MVS/VM
bridge system using SNA Distribution Services (SNADS) can exchange mail and
files with systems in the network.
The MVS/VM bridge capability enables the iSeries server to exchange RSCS
files, spooled output, and messages generated using SNADS on the iSeries
server, the System/36, or the System/38 with VM systems. Other files, such as
job streams, generated on an iSeries server, a System/36, or a System/38, can
be stored on the VM system and forwarded to the appropriate iSeries,
System/36, or System/38 using the MVS/VM bridge.
The RJE portion of the Communications Utilities for iSeries allows the iSeries
server to function as an RJE workstation for the submission of jobs or receipt of
output from a host IBM 308x, 3090™, 937x, or 43xx using BSC, SNA over SDLC
lines, over an X.25 network, or over IBM Token-Ring Network. SDLC and X.25
lines can connect through an X.21 interface. RJE supports communication with
host systems running MVS/SP™ JES2, MVS/SP JES3, VM RSCS Networking,
and VSE/AF POWER.
IBM Communications Utilities is refreshed at V5R3. No code changes are made.
