users write to, with each user having their own output queue. The PC
listens to the input queue for mileage request packets. Within each
mileage request packet is the name of the user’s output queue. The PC
does a destructive read of the request packet, processes the request, and
writes to the specified user’s output queue.
PC*MILER for the AS400 was developed using the data queue facilities of
IBM’s Client Access Express. You must have this connectivity product
installed and properly configured on the mileage server PC.
NOTE: ALK is no longer supporting the use of the NS Router. It remains
an installation option and may work on some systems.
If you are using NS Router, you need the NS Router 3.0 or higher for
PC*MILER-AS400 Version 20 or higher. Client Access 3.2 has the 3.0
Router bundled with it.
Netmanage is no longer selling or supporting the NS Router. The NS Router
must be configured to use the Anynet or Twinax protocols. Connecting via
Anynet requires the creation of an Anynet Controller on the AS400.
Do not patch your router. The PC*MILER for the AS400 system was
developed on a non-patched Router, and installing any patch may
cause unpredictable behavior.
