5.3 TCP/IP definitions for the CICS TG
We used the Configuration Tool to define the settings for TCP/IP communication.
The Configuration Tool generates the CTG.INI file, which is located in the \bin
subdirectory. This file is read by the Client daemon when started and used to
establish a connection to a CICS Server. We defined the parameters as shown in
Figure 5-5.
Figure 5-5 TCP/IP server definition in the Configuration Tool
Server name An arbitrary name for your CICS server connection. We
specified the region name SCSCPJA1.
Description An arbitrary description for the CICS server.
Network protocol The protocol for communication with the CICS server, in
our example, TCP/IP.
Hostname 1 The host name of the z/OS system on which our CICS
server is listening, in our case wtsc66.itso.ibm.com.
Port 2 The port on which our ECI over TCP/IP service is
listening, in our case port 8018.
This creates the lines shown in Example 5-1 on page 88 in the CTG.INI file.
