Client-Server

A client-server configuration supports PC-to-mainframe connections. It uses one of the following CAICCI TCP/IP server started tasks. The user ID of the used started task must have a valid OMVS segment. Sample members of the started tasks are distributed in the CAW0PROC data set.

• CCITCP, which is started using the CAICCI PROTOCOL(TCPIP,…) control option
• CCISSL with SSL support, which is started using the CAICCI PROTOCOL(TCPSSL, …) control option

Although you can start the server task in a client-server configuration using the z/OS START command, it is not recommended.
