Chapter 3. Optimizing communications performance Many factors can affect the performance of AS/400 application programs. T o achieve the best performance with your particular communications environment, you may want to review these topics: v Improving wide area network (W AN) performance.
v For interactive environments, keep line use below 30% to maintain predictable and consistent response times. Exceeding 50% line use usually slows down response time.
processing a larger frame is only slightly more than the amount needed to process a smaller frame. If you use larger frames to transfer a single system message or block of data, decreases the total number of frames required to complete the transfer .
parameter value on one system should never have a greater value than the LANMAXOUT parameter value on the other system. The parameter values of the sending system should match the values on the receiving system.
v Mix interactive and batch jobs on a wide area network line v Performance considerations for AnyNet communications v Subsystems Considerations for subsystem configuration for error recovery performance Each piece of work that runs on the AS/400 system is called a job.
Example: Communications subsystem configuration 1. Create a duplicate of QCMN: CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QCMN) FROMLIB(QSYS) OBJTYPE(*SBSD) TOLIB(MYLIB) NEWOBJ(MYCMN) 2. Set up the communication entries: ADDCMNE SBSD(MYLIB/MYCMN) DEV(PC*) ADDCMNE SBSD(MYLIB/MYCMN) DEV(PC*) MODE(QSERVER) MAXACT(0) ADDCMNE SBSD(QSYS/QCMN) DEV(PC*) MODE(QPCSUPP) MAXACT(0) 3.
Example: Interactive subsystem configuration 1. Create a subsystem description: CRTSBSD SBSD(MYLIB/MYINTER) POOLS((1 *BASE) (2 *INTERACT)) 2. Create a class CRTCLS CLS(MYLIB/MYCLASS) RUNPTY(20) 3.
v Change the request/response unit size to a lower value for the large transfer . This parameter setting optimizes response time at the expense of large transfer performance. v Reduce the pacing values for the large transfer to slow it down, which allows the interactive users more windows for getting on the line.
are written for one type of network protocol to run over a different type of network protocol. For example, without AnyNet, your choice of application program interface (API) dictates your choice of network protocol, or your choice of network protocol dictates your choice of APIs.
For more information about creating subsystems, see the Work Management book. 16 V ersion 5.
Chapter 4. Communications applications Communications applications that are used in an APPC (advanced program-to-program) environment are also available to be used in an APPN and HPR environment; only the method by which data is transported is changed.
v Using larger sends for a given large transfer (record sizes) provides a higher application data rate and decreases CPU time. With the larger record size, the CPU has less processing to do because there are fewer application reads and writes to transfer the same amount of data.
Performance considerations for Common Programming Interface Communications Y ou can use Common Programming Interface Communications (CPI Communications) to write application programs that you want to communicate with advanced program-to-communications (APPC).

Configuring dependent LU requester (DLUR) Dependent LU Requester (DLUR) allows dependent secondary logical units (LU 0, 1, 2, and 3) an entry point into the APPN network. DLUR support gives the appearance of having an adjacent connection to VT AM, but allows traversing the APPN network through intermediate nodes.
Note: This must match the VT AM LU name with the corresponding local location address (LOCADDR) on VT AM. For more information on DLUR see, Dependent LU Requester Support (DLUR).

Chapter 8. T roubleshooting communications problems If you suspect you have a problem with communications connectivity , the AS/400 system provides a set of tools to help you with problem analysis tasks. The list below contains some of the more common tools for communications problem analysis.
Displaying the Product Activity Log to solve communication problems The Print Error Log and the Product Activity Log provide you with important information for solving communications problems.
QP ASVRP T arget 5250 display station pass-through primary server job. This job log is for target pass-through communications functions. QP ASVRS T arget 5250 display station pass-through secondary server job.
System service tools and communication problems Y ou may sometimes need to obtain an error log printout or communications trace data that your IBM service representative can review . For the line trace, someone familiar with the protocol used on the line may need to review the files.
1-16000 K The valid range for the maximum number of bytes used for storing collected trace information. T race full Specifies whether new trace records replace old trace records or whether the trace is stopped when the maximum storage that you specified has been reached.
Y ou can also sort the WRKPRB display by the date the problem was entered into the log. Note: Use the WRKPRB command for the menu options, additional problem analysis, or documenting problem records. Solving communication problems using status information Y ou can often diagnose the communications problem by checking communications status.

Chapter 9. Networking concepts If you would like more information on networking topics, review the following: v Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking support v Advanced Program-to-Program Communications v .
Advanced program-to-program communications Advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) is data communications support that allows programs on an AS/400 system to communicate with programs on other systems having compatible communications support, such as: System/38 and System/36.
v Send v Receive At the primary end of the pipe is a Dependent LU Server (DLUS) . At the secondary end of the pipe is a Dependent LU Requester (DLUR) . DLUS and DLUR support the activation and deactivation of dependent physical units (PUs) and logical units (LUs) in the APPN network.
Internetwork Packet Exchange support is the AS/400 implementation of the NetWare communication protocols. These protocols include IPX, Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX), Router Information Protocol (RIP), Service Advertising Protocol (SAP), and NetWare Link Service Protocol (NLSP).
Chapter 10. Common networking standards These topics introduce the types of common networking standards that are supported by the AS/400 system. See the following topics for more information: v Local .
Half-duplex Ethernet Generally , multiple stations in an Ethernet network show a single data path. Therefore, only one station may transmit data at a time. This is called half-duplex Ethernet. The station may transmit only or receive only , but not both simultaneously .
the AS/400 wireless LAN adapter and remote stations. Remote stations can be PTCs that are running 5250 emulation or LAN-connected systems that are equipped with compatible wireless adapters.
v Frame relay direct network: Allows data that uses SNA, TCP/IP , or IPX communications over a frame-relay network to move at speeds of up to 2.048 Mbps. This support allows a network of systems to communicate using the frame-relay network as a backbone, without the need for multiple leased T1 lines.
Note: SDLC supports traditional AS/400 communication protocols, such as APPC, but does not support TCP/IP . X.25 network X.25 is a T elecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) recommendation that defines the physical level (physical layer), link level (data link layer), and packet level (network layer) of the OSI reference model.
