Configuring the Client Manager for TCP/IP (Sockets)

To configure a Client Manager to communicate with a TCP/IP server environment, you need:

The target server machine host name or its IP address
The target server configured/well-known port address (destination port number)

To relate the machine name of the target server environment to a network address, you can either modify the communication workstations hosts file or make use of a Domain Name Services (DNS).

To modify the hosts file or the DNS configuration on the client workstation, see the appropriate vendor documentation for instructions about using hosts file or DNS setup.

To set the Client Manager configuration files for TCP/IP transport use:

Follow these steps:

Start the Client Manager and select Server, Config.
On the Server Configuration dialog, enter a server name and description for this target server connection.
If a test transaction is to be used to verify the server connection, verify the displayed Test Trans is correct. The default value is ECHO.
If the target server is a Comm Bridge and if that Comm Bridge is configured to use ECI for server communications, verify that the Test Tran Server value is correct. The default value is ECHO. This configuration item is used by a Comm Bridge when it uses ECI to communicate with a CICS target server execution environment.
Select Sockets from the Transport API selection list. The Client Manager automatically supplies the API DLL name.
Click Details to display the TCP/IP Server Configuration – Details dialog.
Provide the TCP/IP parameters that identify the target server environment.
Select one, if appropriate, of the socket connection style check boxes according to the target server environment requirements as listed below.
