Abstract
A technique efficiently correlates information pertaining to entities of a mixed Advanced Peer to Peer Networking (APPN) and Data Link Switching (DLSW) computer network. The entities comprise System Network Architecture (SNA) host mainframe ('host') and physical unit (PU) entities, along with DLSw and APPN/DLSw devices. The technique involves identifying a SNA session path as using Dependent Logical Unit Requester (DLUR) services of the APPN/DLSw device and thereafter obtaining media access control (MAC)/service access point (SAP) information needed to correlate the SNA session to the DLSw peer devices. The inventive technique then proceeds to efficiently correlate information relating to the DLUR and PU with information relating to the devices to draw the mixed network topology needed to assist in problem isolation.
