Client Manager Client Applications

A generated CA Gen Window Manager application is considered a user of a Client Manager if the generated GUI applications contain a cooperative flow (either Dialog Flow or Procedure Step USE) that targets a procedure step that resided in a Server Manager whose Server Environment Communications type is "Gen." The generated GUI application makes use of runtime code that sends the processing of associated cooperative flow requests to the Client Manager.

Client Manager Client Application

For example, if a Window Manager contains a cooperative flow to a CICS target server P307, that CICS target Server Manager would have a Server Environment set as follows:

Server Environment Parameters dialog

An alternative way that a GUI client can become a user of the Client Manager is by using the commcfg.ini file.

Note: For a detailed description of the use of the commcfg.ini file, see the chapter "Overriding Communications Support at Execution Time" in Distributed Processing – Overview Guide.
