SuperSession TN3270 Client, IP Connectivity.

We require an integrated tn3270 client within SuperSession as an alternative access method to SNA.

Currently we use IP in IBM Session Manager for connecting to our VM systems and simply connect into a telnet port.

Within Session Manager the application definition using IP is quite simple using the ‘data' field -

APPL VM01
APPLID TCP_1
TERMLOGMODE *
ACBRANGE ISZR0240
DATA 'TN3270://VM.xx.xx:nnnnn'
DESCRIPTION "VM PRODUCTION"

As compared to SNA equivalent –

APPL VM01
APPLID VM01
TERMLOGMODE *
ACBRANGE ISZR0240
DATA ''
DESCRIPTION "VM PRODUCTION"

Over time we would like to convert as many as possible of our connections to use IP.

The lack of IP connectivity would currently prevent us from migrating from ISM to SuperSession.
