CICS Transaction Gateway V5 The WebSphere ... - IBM Redbooks

1.1.1 Client daemon
The CICS TG Client daemon is an integral part of the CICS TG on all distributed
platforms. It provides the CICS client-server connectivity using the same
technology as previously provided by the CICS Universal Client. On distributed
platforms, connections to the following CICS servers are supported:
► APPC connections from Windows and AIX platforms to all CICS platforms
► TCP62 (LU 6.2 over IP) connections to CICS/ESA V4.1, CICS TS V1.2 and
CICS TS V1.3 for OS/390, and CICS TS for z/OS V2
► TCP/IP connections to CICS TS for z/OS V2.2, CICS TS for VSE/ESA V1.1.1
the TXSeries CICS Servers (AIX, Sun Solaris, Windows NT, and HP-UX) and
CICS OS/2 Transaction Server
For further details on supported platforms and required service levels, refer to the
appropriate announcement letters available at the following URL:
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/cics/announce/
The Client daemon runs in the background as the cclclnt process. Interaction
with the Client daemon is provided by the cicscli executable, which can be used
to start, stop and query the Client daemon, among other functions. The
command cicscli -? lists the cicscli command options, as shown in
Example 1-1.
On the Windows platform, the Client daemon can run as a Windows service. The
ability to run as a service is provided by the cclserv.exe executable, which is
registered as a service during CICS TG installation. The Client daemon can be
started and stopped using the Windows Service Control Manager.
