Telnet and Spool Files

[Guest.Visitor]

Tim - Actually, your two systems are connected via TCP/IP - Telnet is a method of doing terminal emulation to a TCP/IP-enabled system. Try SNDTCPSPLF . . HTH, Steve

Use SNDTCPSPLF. You may have to define the remote queue on your AS400 and also confirm that remote queue exist on the remote system.Try this out it may work. However, there is no reason that SNA should not work when Telnet is On. Check your ethernet line description whether it has been set only for TCP/IP !!! You can revoke that setting and use SNA Distribution services for transferring spools.

Tim, You could also create a remote outq on each system which points to an outq on the other system. When defining, you specify RMTSYS(*INTNETADR), CNNTYPE(*IP), AUTOSTRWTR(1), and specify the IP address of your remote system in the INTNETADR parameter. Then, any spooled file entering this outq in *RLS status will get transferred to the remote system. Bruce

This sounds like a great idea. I actual use remote outques for my local machines. I don't know why I didn't think of trying it for the AS/400 that is remote. PS thanks for the verbage correction too. lol Some times my fingers think faster than my mind wants them too Tim

I"m getting an message stating that "Remote host system rejected the open attempt" The help on this message doesn't give any help. (Imagine that!) I know that I can tellnet to this sytem and that I have remote outque available. Help? I'm sure that there is a manual that his great information on this subject. Does anyone know the name of it? Thanks

Tim, the line printer daemon servers need to be running on the remote system. Try telnetting to the remote and then running STRTCPSVR SERVER(*LPD). For documentation try chapter 13 of TCP/IP Configuration and Reference SC41-5420-02. Again, that's the V4R3 manual - I haven't checked other releases. Dave...

Tim, I think the LPD Server needs to be running on each AS/400 in order for the connection to work. Command is STRTCPSVR SERVER(*LPD) Good Luck! Jeff

After starting *LPD on both systems it did work when I used the command, "SNDTCPSPLF" That's the good news. However, If I go WRKSPLF and take option 1 (Which shows up as SNDNETSPLF) it doesn't work. I'm assuming that this is because the SNDNETSPLF needs to have SNA configured. I have SNA configured but it states that you have to have a "For SNADS to operate properly, it requires the following on the OS/400 system: Comminications line, controller, and device descriptions configured for APPC or APPN support. I don't have a line,device, or controller because I'm using telent. I'm confused! Isn't it proof that my SNA is correct if I can telnet to the other sight? Why can't I use SNDNETSPLF then? thanks

Telnet uses TCP/IP to communicate between your systems NOT SNA.
