TCP/IP Gateway

A gateway supports the mainframe as a full peer to other platforms in a TCP/IP network. Platforms supported include other mainframe systems, UNIX, Linux, and Windows. 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.

• CCITCPGW, which is started using the CAICCI PROTOCOL(TCPIPGW,…) control option
• CCISSLGW with SSL support, which is started using the CAICCI PROTOCOL(TCPSSLGW, …) control option

You must not start the server task for a gateway using the z/OS START command.
