Programmers who work with TMA TCP should be familiar with CICS applications development.

System administrators who work with TMA TCP should be familiar with the following concepts, tools, and procedures:

zTCP/IP networking

zIBM CICS Sockets Interface

zDefining new resources to CICS

zStandard CICS monitoring tools

Oracle TMA TCP for CICS Architecture

Oracle TMA TCP for CICS is composed of four CICS programs running within a CICS region:

zHandler

zApplication Handler

zPre-requester

zRequester

It uses the Sockets Interface and Sockets for CICS Listener that is shipped with the IBM TCP/IP for CICS TS Sockets Interface. There are two different processing scenarios to consider:

zRequests that originate in a remote Oracle Tuxedo domain and request services offered by

CICS

zRequests that originate in a CICS region and request services offered by a remote Oracle Tuxedo domain

Oracle TMA TCP Functionality

The following functionality is available in the TMA TCP product.

Domains-based Gateway Connectivity

The TMA TCP product has a domains-based architecture supporting bidirectional communications, request/response support, and concurrent support for the CICS interface.
