Terminology

CA General Transaction Server (GTS)

CA GTS is a Common Component that runs as a persistent address space to provide communication and transaction services. CA GTS can run client applications from several products to provide various services.

ChekPlex registers with the CA GTS to provide services related to JCL validation. Every CA GTS system is identified by a unique CA GTS name. This name is defined during CA GTS configuration and is used by CA JCLCheck.

Node

A node is any physical machine or LPAR that participates in the ChekPlex validation process. All nodes are required to have the GTS and ChekPlex subsystems installed, and they must be set up for remote validation.

Local node

A local node initiates a request for JCL to be validated.

Source Server

The Source Server is a node that contains the JCL to be validated and makes it locally available. In most cases, this is the same node as the local node.

Target Server

The Target Server is a node that performs the actual validation of the JCL supplied by the source server. CA JCLCheck runs on the Target Server.

Result Server

The Result Server is a node that stores and provides CA JCLCheck results. This node is automatically set to the local node.

Environmental Items

Environmental items are any files that need to be shipped along with the JCL that is being validated. In most cases, it contains JCL procedures.
