PC*MILER-AS/400 MVS User’s Guide 17
A Two-Part Process
Essentially the PC side of the PC*MILER-AS/400 Multi-Version Switch
installation can be broken down into two parts:
1) PC*MILER-AS/400 Multi-Version Switch (as400.exe) which reads mileage
requests from a request data queue on the AS/400, and
2) At least one instance of PC*MILER|TCP/IP (pcmsock.exe) which provides
the mileage and routing information for as400.exe to return to a response data
queue on the AS/400.
Each instance of PC*MILER|TCP/IP needs its own copy of the PC*MILER or
PC*MILER|Tolls desktop application. This installation provides the highway
network database and a mechanism for editing custom routing features.
PC*MILER|TCP/IP is itself based on another PC*MILER product,
PC*MILER|Connect – ALK’s mileage and routing dynamic link library (dll).
PC*MILER|Connect is a version-specific product; for example, Connect Version
15.x will not work with Version 16 PC*MILER. The normal installation of
PC*MILER|Connect involves installation of our mileage and routing dlls to a
computer’s C:\Windows or C:\Winnt folder. For PC*MILER-AS/400 Multi-
Version Switch, these dlls are installed to the working directory for pcmsock.exe
underneath the top level of that version’s PC*MILER for Windows installation.
