8.4.6 Distribution of Components<br />

118 <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX as the <strong>Transaction</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

You must decide where to locate the <strong>CICS</strong> SM components. To assist you in the<br />

decision, we discuss the types of intercomponent communication that take place<br />

<strong>with</strong>in <strong>CICS</strong> SM. We then make our recommendations for component<br />

distribution.<br />

8.4.6.1 Intercomponent Communication<br />

Two types of intercomponent communication are used <strong>with</strong>in <strong>CICS</strong> SM. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />

DSOM and UNIX sockets. <strong>The</strong> use of these communication methods enables<br />

distribution of <strong>CICS</strong> SM components across multiple AIX systems. DSOM is used<br />

between those components that have a need for its services. UNIX sockets are<br />

used <strong>with</strong>in the workload management components where high performance is<br />

essential. DSOM does not have to be installed on every machine, only the<br />

management node and the managed nodes. In Figure 35 on page 115 you can<br />

see that intercommunication between the SMappl and the WLMAppl-SMappl<br />

interface, the resource controller, and the GUI uses DSOM. Intercommunication<br />

between the WLMappl and the workload management cache managers uses<br />

UNIX sockets <strong>with</strong> a datagram protocol, as does the long-running transaction in<br />

its communication <strong>with</strong> the resource controller. Workload management client to<br />

<strong>CICS</strong> client communication occurs as a <strong>CICS</strong> exit call. <strong>The</strong>re is no explicit<br />

communication as there is <strong>with</strong> DSOM.
