SNA in a Parallel Sysplex Environment

The Parallel Sysplex is the latest development in the evolution of
IBM's most powerful systems. It provides unparalleled throughput,
reliability, manageability and expandability through its use of
cooperating coupled processors. These advantages are exploited to the
fullest by VTAM and VTAM applications, to bring unequalled levels of
service to SNA network users. This redbook tells you how to implement
a VTAM-based network on a Parallel Sysplex.

We show how the use of generic application resources allows you to
balance the load on a Parallel Sysplex, and to provide greater
availability to application users.

We demonstrate how a VTAM session can survive a failure of
application, VTAM, MVS or even a processor, without the user having to
log on again.

We describe how VTAM systems in a Parallel Sysplex can establish
communication with each other dynamically, without any definitions
being required.

We discuss and illustrate how to ensure that sessions to and from
sysplex applications take the optimum route.

This second edition of the book has been updated with new information on the
enhancements in eNetwork Communications Server for OS/390 Release 5 and
Release 6. New working examples have been added for MNPS, TSO
reconnection and the use of the generic resources resolution exit with
session manager-type applications.

VTAM networking in a Parallel Sysplex environment brings together
separate disciplines such as MVS, CICS and VTAM. Often these
disciplines are the preserves of separate groups of people;
cross-discipline knowledge is scant and hard to come by. This redbook
helps specialists in each discipline to understand the subject area of
the others, by describing each area in terms familiar to those others.
