Creating Multiple Comm. Bridges Without Using Icons

Follow these steps:

1. To start the Comm. Bridge from a command prompt, change to the directory where you installed the Comm. Bridge and enter the command:

   IEFCBxxN.exe iefcb startup /initfile=[filename]
   

   Note: xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. For the current release number, see the Release Notes.

   IEFCBxxN.exe

   Specifies the name of the Comm. Bridge executable

   iefcb

   Specifies the transaction code associated with the initial procedure step. This is a required parameter.

   startup

   Specifies the initial command executed by the initial procedure step. This is a required parameter.

   /initfile=

   Is followed by the name of the initialization file for this Comm. Bridge instance. Use the filename iefcbn.ini for the first execution. In later executions you will use the name you give the initialization file during configuration. This parameter is optional if only one instance of the Comm. Bridge is needed. If not present the default initialization file used is iefcbn.ini.

2. Configure the Comm. Bridge client and server connections as desired.

   Note: You must configure the new Comm. Bridge instance and save the settings to the initialization and server files before they can be used on subsequent activation commands. The set of configuration files is what creates the additional Comm. Bridge instance. You can create as many Comm. Bridges as you need.

3. Save the current configuration using the procedures in the chapter "Saving Configuration Files."
