Enable or Disable SNA from My BRMS Network

Use the following commands to enable or disable the SNA network for a specified system or for all systems that currently exist in your BRMS network.

QSYS/CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM ('ALIASNAME' '5' '*SNA' '*ENABLE' 'REMOTE_SYSTEM_NAME')

QSYS/CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM ('ALIASNAME' '5' '*SNA' '*DISABLE' 'REMOTE_SYSTEM_NAME')

Where 'REMOTE_SYSTEM_NAME' specifies the name of the system for which you want to enable or disable the SNA network. 'REMOTE_SYSTEM_NAME' is specified as nnnnnnnn.cccccccc or cccccccc where nnnnnnnn is the network identifier and cccccccc is the system name.

*ALL can be specified as the 'REMOTE_SYSTEM_NAME' if you want to enable or disable the SNA network for all the systems that currently exist in your BRMS network.

QSYS/CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM ('ALIASNAME' '5' '*SNA' '*DISABLE' '*ALL')

will also apply to any new systems that are subsequently added to the BRMS network and prevent the SNA network from ever being used.

NOTES:

You must issue these commands on all of the systems in your BRMS network.
All parameters for this command must be entered in uppercase.

Use the following command to disable SNA.

WRKPCYBRM TYPE(*SYS)
