Introduction to Installing Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP

The Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (hereafter referred to as TMA TCP) is a gateway connectivity application that enables applications on Oracle Tuxedo systems to perform various non-transactional tasks with applications that reside on different kinds of computers

This document provides the following topics on installing TMA TCP software:

•	“Installing Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP Gateway” provides information for installing the TMA TCP Gateway component on a UNIX or Windows system.

•	“Installing Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (IMS)” provides information for installing the TMA TCP for IMS component.

•	“Installing Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)” provides information for installing the TMA TCP for CICS component.
