Programming Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)

The following subsections identify issues that CICS programmers should be aware of when they develop or modify application programs that operate with Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS) (hereafter referenced as TMA TCP for CICS):

zClient Application Considerations

zServer Application Considerations

Client Application Considerations

The following sections identify issues that CICS programers should be aware of when they develop or modify application programs that interoperate with TMA TCP for CICS as clients.

To make requests to remote Oracle Tuxedo domains from CICS application programs, use the EXEC CICS LINK command. The exact layout of the request/response data area is discussed in a later section.

Buffer Layout Issues

The layout of the data buffer sent between CICS and Oracle Tuxedo should be agreed upon by the CICS applications programmer, the Oracle Tuxedo applications developer, and the Oracle Tuxedo administrator to ensure consistency and proper configuration. There are no limitations on the CICS programmer concerning native COBOL or C data types.
