That's where you'd be wrong ;-)
The product comes with something called the "Demo SDLC Service". If you configure this,
you can attach LU's etc. to it and "connect" to it from clients just like it was a real
mainframe. It's not a real mainframe app, and just comes back with canned responses, but
it's good enough to test the setup/config of most of HIS, check client comms works,
server fail-overs, upgrade strategy between versions etc.
The supplied books-online are pretty good, but unless you have a mainframe
background/knowledge, some of the terminology/concepts will be alien to you. Might be
worth you getting a day or two's consultancy, if you can find someone local with the
right knowledge, to fast-track your knowledge, set up some servers, and run through
upgrade options.
I really know nothing about SNA or HIS, where is a good place to start as far
as getting to know it. It's not like you can install it and play with it.
You have to have a mainframe to hook it up to.
