IPIC Settings

Partial Table-of-Contents

  • Server idle timeout (mins)
  • Host name or IP address
  • Port
  • Connection timeout
  • Send TCP KeepAlive packets
  • Send sessions
  • Target CICS APPLID
  • Target CICS APPLID qualifier
  • These settings are specific to the IPIC protocol.


    Server idle timeout (mins)

    Enter a numeric value between 0 and 1080, specifying in minutes the period of inactivity after which the connection between the Gateway daemon and the CICS® server is closed. A value of 0 means that no timeout is applied. The default value is 60 minutes.


    Host name or IP address

    Enter a character or numeric TCP/IP identifier for the host on which the CICS server is running. For example, cicssrv2.company.com (host name) or 192.113.36.200 (IP Address).

    Host names are mapped to IP addresses either by the name server or in the hosts system file. It is better to use a host name in case the IP address changes.

    Windows® operating system:

    The hosts system file is in the %windir%\system32\drivers\etc directory.

    UNIX® and Linux® operating systems:

    The hosts system file is in the /etc directory.


    Port

    Enter a numeric value between 1 and 65,535 defining the port number on which the target CICS server is listening. This field is mandatory.


    Connection timeout

    Enter a numeric value between 0 and 3600, specifying the maximum time in seconds that establishing a connection is allowed to take. The default value of 0 means that no limit is set.


    Send TCP KeepAlive packets

    Select this check box if you want TCP/IP to periodically send keepalive messages to the default CICS server to check the connection. The CICS Transaction Gateway uses the interval specified by your operating system. The default is to send keepalive messages.


    Send sessions

    The number of simultaneous transactions or CICS tasks, that are allowed over the connection is determined from the setting of SENDSESSIONS in the CICS transaction Gateway configuration file.

    Enter a numeric value between 1 and 999.

    CICS Transaction Gateway Desktop Edition: The maximum value for this parameter is 5.


    Target CICS APPLID

    Enter an alphanumeric value, up to 8 characters in length, specifying the APPLID of the target CICS server.

    This field is optional unless the CICSAPPLIDQUALIFIER is specified. If specified, the CICSAPPLID must match the APPLID of the target CICS server.


    Target CICS APPLID qualifier

    Enter an alphanumeric value, up to 8 characters in length, specifying the network ID of the target CICS server.

    This field is optional unless CICSAPPLID is specified. If specified, the CICSAPPLIDQUALIFIER must match the network ID of the target CICS server.
