Host
|
Specifies the name of the mainframe host you are connecting.
|
Enter CICS.
The value always defaults to CICS for
CICS connections.
|
Port
|
Specifies the TCP/IP port where the Sun CICS Listener (and the CICS
Listener) is listening. This is the port to which the CICS Adapter will connect.
|
The TCP/IP port to which Sun CICS Listener is listening.
|
Sun CICS Listener TransId
|
Specifies the Sun CICS Listener TransId on the mainframe host. This
is the CICS Transaction that the Sun CICS Listener is installed under.
|
The valid TransId of the Sun CICS Listener.
The default is STCL.
|
Start Type
|
Specifies the startup type. This can be either IC for CICS interval
control, or TD for CICS transient data. This is the CICS Startup type for
the program being executed.
|
Select IC or TD .
The default value is IC.
|
Start Delay
|
Specifies the hours, minutes and seconds (interval of time) to delay
starting the transaction program (TP) on the CICS server for the IC Start
Type. This field is optional, but must specify all 6 digits if used.
|
A 6 digit integer. All 6 digits must be given if this is specified (for
example, 123456).
The default value is 000000.
|
Listener Timeout
|
Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) for the Sun CICS Listener
to wait for the next incoming transaction program request from the CICS Adapter.
|
A number indicating the Listener timeout in milliseconds (for example,
120000 milliseconds equals 2 minutes).
|
TP Timeout
|
Specifies the amount of time the CICS Adapter will wait for the Sun
CICS Listener to return results for a current transaction program request.
|
A number indicating the TP Timeout in milliseconds (for example, 120000
milliseconds equals 2 minutes).
|
Polling Rate
|
Specifies the polling rate. This is the number of times the Sun CICS
Listener queries the current TCP connection for incoming traffic before issuing
an EXEC CICS DELAY for one second.
|
An integer indicating the Sun CICS Listener polling rate.
|
Transport Timeout
|
Specifies the timeout used by both the local and host side for send
or receive.
|
A number indicating the Transport Timeout in milliseconds (for example,
5000 milliseconds equals 5 seconds).
|
COMMAREA Padding Character
|
Specifies the EBCDIC code for the character used by the SBYND listener
to pad the COMMAREA at the CICS server when the actual length of the payload
in the COMMAREA is shorter than the length given by CommAreaLength. The default
value is hexadecimal 40 - EBCDIC space.
|
A character value coded in Hexadecimal. For example: 40 for Blanks,
00 for Low Values, FF for High Values, and so forth.
The default value is 40.
|
SendBufSize
|
Specifies the Send Buffer Size (in bytes) for the underlying socket.
|
A number indicating the Buffer Size in bytes (for example, 2048 bytes
equals 2 KB).
|
ReceiveBufSize
|
Specifies the Receive Buffer Size (in bytes) for the underlying socket
(provided as a hint).
|
A number indicating the Receive Buffer Size in bytes (for example, 10240
bytes equals 10 kilobytes).
|
NoDelay
|
Specifies whether the system can delay connections or requests. Generally,
True (no delay) is required for high-volume or critical transactions. In cases
of low-volume and noncritical transactions, you can use False. (Specifies
whether to disable Nagle’s Algorithm.)
|
Enter Trueor False.
True is the default.
|
KeepAlive
|
Specifies whether to enable the socket’s SO_KEEPALIVE option when
it creates a socket connection to the CICS listener. SO_KEEPALIVE maintains
active connections by enabling periodic transmission of messages (if this
is supported by the protocol). If the connected socket fails to respond to
these messages, the connection is broken and the processes writing to that
socket are notified with an ENETRESET errno. This option takes an int value
in the optval argument. This is a BOOL option.
The socket’s SO_KEEPALIVE option is used to enable pinging of
the connection to the peer during connection to keep the connection “alive”.
This is used to prevent connections from going idle and timing out.
SO_KEEPALIVE periodically sends a message to the connection socket of
the peer to ensure that the connection is still “alive” (active).
One of three responses is expected:
-
The peer responds with the expected ACK. The application is
not notified (since everything is OK). TCP will send another probe following
another 2 hours of inactivity.
-
The peer responds with an RST, which tells the local TCP that
the peer host has crashed and rebooted. The socket is closed.
-
The peer fails to return a response. The socket is closed.
The purpose of this option is to detect whether the peer host has crashed.
|
Enter True to enable SO_KEEPALIVE,
or False to disable the option.
True is the configured default.
