4 Verifying the Software
After installing and configuring the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA software, verify the operational integrity of the environment by running a sample application on a simple server in client/server transaction scenarios. This process employs programs available in your product software libraries.
Note:
All references to ATMI files, functions, and documentation apply to Tuxedo files, functions and documentation.The sample applications are located in the simple server library (TMA/sna/simpapp). The simple server passes a string from the client to the server.
The CICS/ESA programs may run as either DTP or DPL processes, and as either servers or clients. The simple server may also run in either transactional or non-transactional mode. In the transactional mode, these scenarios verify that the sync-level 2 protocol is established between the two application environments.
When the client runs as an ATMI client, the server runs as a CICS/ESA host. Enter a text string in lower-case letters with command arguments. The CICS/ESA server converts the lower-case letters to upper-case letters and re-displays the text string.
When the client runs as a CICS/ESA client, the server runs as an ATMI server. Again, enter a text string in lower-case letters. The ATMI server converts the text string into a mirror image and displays the string as reversed letters.
Note:
The verification process is intended for the CICS/ESA environment only between ATMI applications and CICS/ESA applications. If your ATMI applications operate in other environments, you must create your own verification process. See the APPC/IMS Programming section.This chapter contains the following topics:
