Re: Communications

[Glenn Gundermann <ggundermann@xxxxxxx>]

I would have just 1 line description with all of the controller and device
descriptions created under that 1 line.  I haven't come across two people
with the same exchange id so I didn't know of the restriction.  You can't
have the same exchange id even if the controller and device are varied off?

What my company has been doing is asking them for their exchange id on their
line and filling it in here on the controller.  Also the controller on the
their end has our exchange id from our line.  My company wants to have a
controller and device for every customer on our AS400.  The way we have them
create the line is with the CRTLINSDLC command and the EXCHID keyword as
(*SYSGEN).  The problem is we are getting customers with the same exchange
id's.  I realize that the exchange id's must be unique the current way the
line and controllers are created but there may be a better way and I do not
know what it is.   I must be looking at the wrong area in the AS400 Redbook
softcopy library on CD because I have yet to find a way around this issue.
Suggestions?
