Server Architecture

The following diagram illustrates the way in which the CA IDMS Server software components fit together when the client platform is Windows:

Server Architecture_1_Final

Both the ODBC and JDBC drivers are supported for Windows applications, represented here by the web server. The Windows client and CA IDMS communicate using TCP/IP. In this diagram the combination of the web server, Servlet, and ASP boxes represent the applications. CA IDMS Server also supports traditional ODBC and JDBC client-server applications.

The following diagram illustrates how the CA IDMS Server software components fit together when the client platform is z/OS:

Server Architecture_2_Final

The JDBC driver is supported for z/OS applications, represented here by the web server. The z/OS client and host components communicate using Cross Memory Services.

The host components are the same whether the native client is installed on Windows or z/OS.

The following diagram illustrates how the CA IDMS Server JDBC driver software components fit together from any Java platform when used with CA IDMS r16 SP2 or later:

The Type 4 JDBC driver and JDBC Server communicate from any Java platform directly to the CV using TCP/IP.

The following diagram illustrates how the CA IDMS Server ODBC driver software components fit together from Windows when used with CA IDMS r17 or later:
