An Encina PPC Gateway can be used by more than one <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region if<br />

the <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX regions do not make too many SNA intercommunication<br />

requests. Be careful, however; the Encina PPC Gateway is implemented on a<br />

single process <strong>with</strong>in the operating system and could become swamped <strong>with</strong><br />

work. Problem determination is more difficult if more than one <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX<br />

region uses an Encina PPC Gateway.<br />

3.3.3.2 Mixing TCP/IP and SNA<br />

Using the products available, you can mix the methods used to connect your<br />

<strong>CICS</strong> systems to meet complex interconnection requirements. For example, a<br />

<strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region could use the Encina PPC Executive to communicate <strong>with</strong><br />

another <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region, while also communicating over SNA using both<br />

local SNA support and an Encina PPC Gateway server.<br />

Figure 12 on page 38 shows a <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region communicating <strong>with</strong> another<br />

<strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region using TCP/IP. Encina TCP/IP is used because both regions<br />

are in the same DCE cell. <strong>The</strong> <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region is also communicating across<br />

an SNA network to a <strong>CICS</strong> for OS/2 system, some APPC workstations, and a<br />

<strong>CICS</strong> for MVS/ESA system. <strong>The</strong> communications between the <strong>CICS</strong> for OS/2<br />

system and the workstations use local SNA support. Local SNA was chosen<br />

because <strong>CICS</strong> for OS/2 and the APPC workstations do not support<br />

synchronization level 2. <strong>The</strong> communications <strong>with</strong> <strong>CICS</strong> for MVS/ESA use a PPC<br />

Gateway because synchronization level 2 is required. <strong>The</strong> PPC Gateway server<br />

is running on the same machine as the <strong>CICS</strong> region and is using the same SNA<br />

product.<br />
