This panel contains settings for communicating with a particular CICS® server. To configure for a particular protocol, select that protocol from the drop-down box, and the settings at the bottom of the panel change accordingly.
This provides a name that is independent of the communications protocol for the server, local to the CICS Transaction Gateway.
Enter a name of between 1 and 8 characters. Supported characters are in the ranges A-Z and 0-9, and '@', '#', '$'. Lower case characters you enter in the range a-z are converted to upper case. If you do not use single-byte characters, other characters might not be displayed correctly. Unicode characters are not accepted in this field.
Use this name for all requests to access the server from Client applications.
Enter a description for the server of between 1 and 60 single-byte characters. If you do not use single-byte characters, other characters might not be displayed correctly. Unicode characters are not accepted in this field. This description is optional.
This description is returned on EPI or ECI list systems calls.
Enter a transaction identifier of between 1 and 128 characters.
This string is case-sensitive and identifies the initial transaction (and any parameters) to be run when the terminal emulator connects to the server. If you do not enter anything, no initial transaction is run. The first four characters, or the characters before the first blank in the string are taken as the transaction. The remaining data is passed to the transaction on its invocation.
Ensure that the transaction does not require terminal input.
Enter a string of between 1 and 16 characters.
The string is case-sensitive and specifies the name of a model terminal definition at the server, identifying the characteristics of terminals to be autoinstalled from the client. If the model cannot be located at the server, or you do not enter anything, a default terminal definition is used. This default is server-specific.
The interpretation of the Model terminal definition setting is server-specific. For example, for a TXSeries® for AIX® server, the value is 1 to 16 characters, and is the DevType for a CICS terminal definition entry to be used as the model.
Select this check box to specify that the CICS Transaction Gateway converts to uppercase any user ID or password from an ECI application or from a user prompt.
This setting is disabled by default.
If the UPPERCASESECURITY entry is missing from the configuration file, the default behavior is for UPPERCASESECURITY to be enabled.
Select this option to specify TCP/IP as the protocol for the server connection.
Select this option to specify SNA as the protocol for the server connection.
Select this option to specify Local Named Pipe as the protocol for the server connection.
This setting applies to Windows Client daemon only.
Select this option to specify IPIC as the protocol for the server connection.
Enter an integer in the range 1 through 1080, to specify in minutes the period of inactivity after which the connection between the Client daemon and the CICS server is closed. A value of 0 means that no timeout is applied. The default value is 0.
The field is available if one of the following network protocols is selected:
The Server idle timeout (mins) period is counted from when the number of outstanding conversations (units of work) on the connection is zero. The connection is automatically reestablished when a Client application sends the next ECI, EPI or ESI request.
When a server connection times out, the Client daemon behaves as if the cicscli -x=<servername> command had been issued. In particular, any value specified in the Server retry interval configuration field is ignored, and no attempt is made to reestablish the connection. The Server retry interval setting is re-enabled if the connection is re-established.
If the network protocol for the server in question is not supported for this field, the Client daemon ignores any entry in the configuration file for the Server idle timeout (mins) field.
